Our first time with new babies now what to do ???

[tip]

So 2 of our bantams have been sitting now for 21 days on 10 eggs and this afternoon we were rewarded with 2 chicks ...not sure if more are on the way or not? Some of the eggs may have been laid at a later date and are now mingled in with the others... Should we separate out the new chicks and let the moms continue sitting?

maybe you should post in Raising Baby Chicks thread?

Hi, my first time to post on here but i have had chickens for a few years now, let the mother hen keep her baby for awhile she loves to keep it under her and she wont hurt it, when it starts to wander away at times you can start it on baby chick feed.
