My Bantam hen and rooster just hatched their first egg. The rooster seems to be nonplussed by the whole thing and is cutting mama and baby a wide path. Do I need to remove the rooster? She still has four eggs to hatch and seems to be a very attentive mother. It is very hot, baby is with mom on the nest tonight. Dad is up on his roost. Mom has introduced baby to water and feed today, baby is a day old. My main concern is whether or not it is safe to leave the rooster in with them.
