The chick is doing well. Much healthier than the 1st lot.View attachment 4236105​

I love it when they stand on the hen's back. So cute.

Ok, all you broody experts: Wrold has hatched her chick; the excess eggs have been removed but the silly girl is running round with her chick still acting broody. She is bokking away, fluffed up like a dandelion head & tossing bits of straw over her back. Has never happened before. Should I worry about her?

She should take the chick out of the nest a few days after the hatch and show her the food and water. Lay bits of food before the chick.
Mine always started to scratch for tiny worms in the soil for the chicks too.
