First time grandmother here, I have some questions!
 | My bantam is hatching out 3 eggs!! I'm so flipping excited! Questions: I plan to move momma and babies into a maternity pen for at least the first several days. Is it best to wait until they're finished hatching? And do I still need to inspect the chicks for pasty butt a few times a day? Or is the mom able to help with that? [link] [comments] |
