Hatching Chicks!

Recommended Posts

i am going mad pulling my hair out!

 

i am hatching some chicks with a broody hen and have her in a rabbit hutch with the eggs under her

 

1- is there enough space in a standard hun untill the chicks are about 1-2 weeks old or will they need more by then?

 

2- will they be ok in wood shavings in the hutch?

 

3- when i let them out into a small enclosure with their mum will they be ok on bark?

 

please help me!

Hi CockADoodleDoo

 

If the broody is happy in the hutch they will be fine for 2-3 weeks,

 

when we hatched last year we used woodshavings with no problem (Just change it daily)

 

Regarding bark - I have no idea but I'm sure they will be ok but I'm sure someone else will be along to offer advice on this,
