hen hatching chicks

20 years ago

After about 21 days and the chicks hatch, what care must "I" give to the babies? What exactly will I need to do and for how long. We are trying to decide when to let our broody hen hatch some babes and plan our vacation times as well. Never had experience with this before. Thanks for the advice.
