Hatching
My broody hen adopted 4 chicks eight weeks ago. They are fully feathered now but still attached to mom during the day. Today I had to put a cover over the nest boxes because I’m getting too much poo on the eggs daily and I’m tired of changing the nest bedding each day. Anyway, mom decided to roost outside in the run tonight with the other hens instead of staying in with the babies. It’s going down to 48* tonight and I’m worried they won’t be warm enough in the coop on the roost bar by themselves. Thoughts? Should I go move everyone into the coop too? The window is shut but the pop door is open. Thanks!
