Is your dog's unusual barking a secret code for something mysterious?

Hi, after 22 days I have one gorgeous sandy coloured chick with dark stripes on it's back., (out of 9 fertile eggs). I am wondering if the others are going to hatch out now. I have put some water in a shallow dish with some pebbles for the chick. I removed a partition so the chick can move about. The broody hen is sitting on the chick. Is this right, will it be safe? I have never done this before. Can you give me some advice please? I intend to buy some chick crumbs tomorrow. Thanks Theresa Anne

well done the chick sounds very cute. We hatched 1 chick successfully under a broody for the first time. Its now 10 days old and even now it goes under its mum or climbs on her back.
