im a bit worried
I know birds breed all the time in the wild but my eldest chick is 7 days older then my youngest and alot bigger, there are 4 chicks so far with 2 left to hatch, should i pull the biggest ones now for hand feeding or do you think theyll be ok, the oldest is 8 days
Re: im a bit worried
I would leave them with mum as long as you can,very young babies are risky to feed. Does it look like the hen is coping with them and is there any really little ones?
Re: im a bit worried
the 4 look like the doing well , shes a really good mum, there are 2 eggs left in next today is the 25th day since theve been layed, the chicks are moving them round alot, i did candle them and there are chicks inside but im not sure if there alive or not when should i take these eggs out
