    Can I lift my hen to check for chicks and eggs still hatching

    Two babies, one egg seemingly disappeared, but I assume it either fell or was kicked out there is a good lip an barrier so shouldn't have fallen on its own. Waiting for one more egg but think it may be a no go.

    I have a broody hen and I am ready to let her have her own clutch. I guess I am confused or conflicted about what to do after they hatch, I want to keep them integrated with the flock. Do i need to separate mama and babies though? I just don't know what to do for this part.
