Hi -- I have a hen on eggs -- when they hatch do I have feed in the area for them right away or not for a day or 2. I have water in a feeder for chicks with marbles so they do not drown. I have a feeder with food in it but I do not know when to put that in. Please help me as this is my first time with a hen hatching her eggs. Never did this before.
When my broody hens have hatched eggs, they were pretty quick to feed the chicks. I kept food and water right near her, since she didn't get off the nest for about 4 days after the first egg hatched. She would get water in her mouth and chirp to the chickies and they would come over and drink the drops from the end of her beak. Same with the food. (I put chick starter and layer pellets in for her, but she always went for the chick starter) I would have it available for her now, while she is sitting, if possible.Hi -- I have a hen on eggs -- when they hatch do I have feed in the area for them right away or not for a day or 2.

Can I feed chick starter to my whole flock and still eat eggs from laying hens?
Might be easier to show you than tell you...I have two broody hens right now. I am thinking of giving them some fertile eggs.......if the eggs hatch will the chicks be ok as it is already November and getting cooler?
