So far, Mama #1 is great with her babies, as Tripp16 said, Mama is good at showing them the ropes. She takes them out, showed them how to scratch, calls them over if she finds something she wants them to see or eat. My oldest daughter & I were watching them yesterday, and Mama saw my oldest had a flour tortilla in her hand. So I told her to pinch off little pieces and toss them over to them. When she did, Mama checked it first & then called the chicks over, one would grab it & then others were in chase mode. They love to clim on top of Mama too.
2nd Mama is still on lock down, 4 chicks have hatched since Monday, still 15 eggs to go????? Both Mama's are BO's
