Chicks are the best, Dianne! When I brought these two broody hens, along with some of my other birds, home last summer they lived in the guest bath tub for a long time. That's one of the reason I prefer letting a broody hen do the work---in my garage and not in my house. Chicks are so messy! I know! Chicks are the best, Dianne!

When my hen Iris raised her guineas last summer, I fed her scratch feed every day out of my hand. But this time around I figured I would leave it up to mother nature. That’s a good idea, Chaucea.

Not sure if that's how it should be done, but I'm a worry-wort and don't like to see my gals withering away on their nests. :-) I’ve always put food and water directly in front of my brooding birds (be it chickens, ducks or geese), to make it really easy for them to get sustenance without having to get up from their nest.

I remember when we brought home our first set of chicks and housed them in a new horse trough in the entry hall! I also remember the one tiny little rooster, jumping up on top of the water feeder and squawking away at me. Those genes are just in them! There’s nothing like sweet baby chicks!
