Hi there - new to this incubator thing. (When I was little and we had chickens - we just let the hens do their thing when it came to hatching chicks.)
We just got some chickens for the first time this fall and attempted hatching a few eggs that unexpectedly showed up in our hen house...
Only 2 pipped, and one chick didn't make it out
.
The other one is doing great so far (it's been a day - I just put it in the brooder).
Was wondering about imprinting and socialization...
Should we bring one of our hens in to give it some company/imprint?
