Hi everyone - My buff orphington was sitting on 10 eggs, and low and behold, one hatched today! I moved her to a cage by herself, but I need some advice. Should I let her take care of the chicks, or take the chicks to a brooder? If I let her take care of them, do I need to put chick starter in the box with her ( I already have a chick-safe waterer)? Will I need a brooder light or will she be warm enough for the chicks?
I'm really new at this, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks-
Mary
