Hi!
This was my first attempt to use broody hen to hatch her chicks. Only two hatched actually. But they look good - healthy - eating and drinking. They are 4 days old now.
While sitting on the nest she was separated from the rest of the flock in the garage brooder. It is still cold and very rainy outside. We live in the Northwest.
I do not feel comfortable to get the mommy and her chicks outside. Is It okey to live them in the garage for a while. I am thinking for about couple weeks. Then it is going to be March and hopefully better weather and off they will go.
Any advice would be appreciated!
