Hello every one, I have a first time momma hen that managed to hatch 5 chicks on her own and accepted 5 more that I snuck under her last night. All the chicks are almost 3 days old now and momma does amazing keeping them warm and cooing to then but i have yet to see any of them running around or eatting drinking yet. is it still too early? should i let her be or do i need to step in and teach them to eat and drink?
 
Just have the feed, and water available there. Chicks will find it soon enough.
Make sure the water is not deep where chicks could drown. It does happen.


WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and :welcome
