So glad your chicks are doing good. Why not just keep them in the cage with the mom and keep supplement feeding ?

hi to be honest the only reason im supplementing the chicks is because i dont think the hen can cope on her own , she is looking weaker and one chick is not getting fed most of the time so i have to top up . i was thinking i could remove the chicks and she could rest and build up her strength for the next couple of months
