My hen hatched her 1st chick

[Farmers wife]

Now what happens, does the mother take care of the chick, or am I suppose to provide seperate food and water for the baby and the mom....
I'm so excited, and its so cute.

Thank you, I wasn't sure if they can stay in the coop with the rest of hens. I'm sure
she will do a good job...

Are there any other broody hens in the copp? If so be careful! I just had a hen hatch her first chick today too. I went out to check on them about an hour later and the other broodies somehow killed it. I really hope your does well. It's fun to find a new baby, isn't it?
