Hi Everyone! First time hatching mama and I have questions. Last year I bought 4 hens about 14 weeks old and two Guinea fowl (which turned out to be male.)This year my Speckled Sussex went broody. I bought some hatching eggs to put under her. She’s a happy camper now. I’m trying to figure out the following:

1. Based on the picture/link of a coop similar to mine, do I need to move her and the eggs or chicks?

2. Should she and the chicks be separated from the rest of the flock?

3. Can the chicks eat the same food as the rest of the flock?

4. What am I missing that I need to know?

Thanks!

Michelle
