So I've previously posted on here about trying to hatch a few eggs myself in an incubator. Ended up having no luck and none of the chicks hatched. Ended up getting rid of the incubator and all of a sudden our bantam hen became interested in sitting on her eggs (she wasn't interested before!) Shes currently sitting on her own one that is due to hatch the 6th and one from another larger older hen that had no interest in her own. Her adopted egg is only a few days along. Both seem to be developing amazing. My question is, once her own chick hatches on the 6th, will she take care of it on her own? Or am I supposed to bring it in aand care for it?
Will mom hen feed it and teach it to go down the ramp into their run where the food is? im worried about it not being able to get up/down the ramp and become starved or cold. Also will she continue to sit on her adopted egg?
