i'm new (!)
My broody hen has got 1 chick under her + another fertile egg that is soon to be hatched. She's a pretty good momma bring she is pecking me and defending her chick. Hopefully the other one hatches.
So what should I do after they both hatch?? We are going to put her in her own spot...
so my broody hen has been laying on 6 eggs, but we found out only 3 were fertile. We think she squashed one, on day 18, that was 3 days until hatching and unfortunately died. We came down today and checked her (day 21) and found a chick but the other egg has not pipped nor chirping.
