Usually some of my other hens will try show them where the food was and encourage them to drink. But all she did was just sit it the box with them under her, so I dipped their beaks in the water and rubbed a bit of food on their beak, which got them going.

Recently, out broody hen hatched some adorabled little baby chicks. Since this is the first time she raised chicks we have had to intervene as we noticed they weren't eating or drinking. This probably sounds a bit stupid but is it Ok to hold her chicks as I don't want to cause them too much stress!
