Hello! I've just recently joined in hopes of getting advice on my new flock of 7 hens and 2 roos! I want to begin hatching eggs soon using a hen. I've read tons of posts and info on how to begin the process and what to look for when deciding if a hen is broody. I still don't know what to do once the chicks are hatched. Will the mother keep them warm or should I install a heat lamp? Will my other chickens hurt the little ones? I have so many questions any advice on the whole process would be great!
