   I have a broody hen with eggs under her, and I was wondering...Once she has the chickies, how will I feed them chick feed and her layer crumbles? Like, without them eating each others food. (if this is not in the right topic feel free to move it)
   
   Thanks In Advance!

   You could put them on grower and they all should be fine.

   I just let the hen eat the chick food also, I feel after sitting on the eggs for so long she can use the extra protein. She will need to peck in their food to teach them how to eat anyway.I have never had a problem with a hen eating the chicks food.
