Hen just hatched an egg...

Just make sure there is something relatively small that the chick will be able to eat, like cracked corn or crumbled feed. Also make sure there is a low enough dish of water that the chick can drink from and not get into. Mother knows best and I'm sure she will take care of her baby just fine. My free range chickens hatch all the time and have no issues.
I am so excited for you. I have no experience in this issue, but hope to when I get a broody. Are there more eggs ready to hatch or just the one? Congrats!
