Mrs Frugal Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I'd just leave it under the hen, Emma. If there's a chick in there, the best place for it is under the broody. If it hatches, the hen will look after it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 They are due to hatch anytime now!! awwww now I know what the other half prob felt when I was due to drop lol! I best check in the morning then I suppose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Yes, I would. Probably best to leave the hen in peace. The chicks are definitely in the best place under her where they'll be kept nice and warm if they do hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
