Okay, I will not get an adult hen and stick to trying the chicks. We have raised chicks before. Will the broody be mean to other hens while raising chicks? And will she let us interact with the chicks?

Aach!! I have a year old hen who just went broody. We were considering about getting chicks, so we're wondering if we should put the chicks under the hen. But then we're worried that our other chicken (we used to have three) will feel lonely, so should we get an adult chicken as well, or just...

Thank you for the advice guys I will keep it in mind to check around the yard for little white eggs

Thank you all for such good advice! I will DEFINITELY consider orpingtons as a great addition to my flock!

I have only one polish and she gets along fine with our other chicken. She was picked on for a little while because we had to reintroduce her, but thats all stopped. We called a vet and they said nothing was permenately damaged so we THINK that she's ok.

I am considering getting some new chickens and was considering buff orpingtons. Do they have a good tempermeant with other chickens and are friendly towards children? Or should I get something else?

Thank you for the info, pipAchick! I hope that your own polish lay eggs

My polish is almost a year old, and has never laid an egg. She was also attacked by a dog this Feburary. Should I be concerned, or is it normal for chickens not to lay eggs after a traumatic experience?

Great article, was just getting ready to buy chicks and introduce them to my flock of adults. Thank you for helping me to reconsider!

Thank you for the advice, Yorkshire Coop. I will be sure to include some of these things in the coop.

Her are some pics. This is Felicity. This is Lacey. This is Nutmeg.

This is Felicity, the Polish. This is Lacey, the Wynadotte. And we have Nutmeg the RSL.

The chicks I just got are adorable, but they mess up the bedding really badly. Is there a reason for this and can I stop it?

We bought our little chicks from a breeder, and we got a Polish, Wynadotte, and Red Star. The star and wynadotte are three weeks old, while the polish is two.

I have three little chicks and they are adorable. I think that we're going to have a wonderful time!

The chicks are adorable, yes, especially when they're sleeping in a huddle.

Yes, they have names. The Polish is named Felicity, the RSL is Nutmeg, and the Wyandotte is named Lacey.

I just got a Polish, RSL, and Wynadotte!! They are the cutest things EVER!!!

I am new too!

I love Polish, they're sooo adorable, I have a very bouncy one!!
