New Momma and first babies

[robcam817]

Hello All,

Raised my first flock from day old mail orders from McMurray. Now one of my Hens is a new momma. I have no idea what, (if anything) I need to do for the new chicks. Will she take care of them, do I need to do anything etc...?

I tried searching the site but didn't find what I needed. If someone can just point me to the links that'd be much appreciated!

She should take care of them.
Describe where she is in relation to the rest of the flock.

Here's the description. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/half-my-flock-decimated.1362102/page-2#post-22642973

I'll attach a video shortly so it's clear. I can lift up the ladder that accesses the inside coop. Will the other hens/roosters harm the chicks?

Let keep the discussion in the other thread......since it's taken off there?
