I think this may have been asked before but I can`not find the question.
This is our first time hatching, we started off with 17 eggs but unfortunatley only 3 made it.
The problem we have is that one chick hatched 4 days ago (early) and the other 2 have hatched today (late) we took the first chick out and put it in the brooder as we didnt want it left with the high humidity and we was not 100% sure the other 2 would hatch. So now we are concerned that the first one may be a little picky on the new ones because of the age difference, I know 4 days isn`t much to us but in chicken time it is.
We are not sure of the breed of the 1st chick but believe it to be a Marsh Daisy(even though we bought the eggs as silkie eggs but from 2 different people, so one person is not very popular here) the other 2 are silkies.
We would appreciate any advice you can give.
