Hi there
I am very new to all that is chicken but I am totally hooked with my new hobby.
I have 10 laying hens and 1 light sussex rooster. One of my hens is sitting on about 20 eggs. She has made her nest in the main sleeping area in the far corner. Now at the moment she is quite content and isnt bothered when the others come in to lay or at bed time.
My concern is when the eggs hatch should I separate her and the babies from the others or will they be ok left in with the other hens and rooster ??
No doubt this has been asked a million times before so I thank you for your patience ....
