How long can a chick go without food and water after hatching?
Is it possible for a the mother to just continue brooding and leave the chick to learn where the food and water is on its own?
I have never allowed a hen to do the work, I usually do it myself. My 2 chicks that have hatched (just today) are still under mom and she is still brooding the last 2 eggs.
