How many chicks can a bird have?
The only limit to the number of chicks a single chicken can raise is the number of eggs that will fit under her and stay warm. This number depends on the size of the chicken and the construction of the nest. Rhode Island Red chickens can brood about 12 eggs at the time. The eggs are laid one per 24-28 hours and when the hen sees there are enough in the nest, she will begin to sit on them. When the chicks hatch they do not need food for several days. By that time they are strong enough to leave the nest and eat on their own.
