I tried to brave the pecks but she stood up and walked off the nest looking at me like “that’s not mine…” When I put the chick down in the nest she pecked it so I scooped it back up.
She went back to the nest and laid again after that.
This is my first time trying so any advice is appreciated!
Hi All,
I ordered day old chicks, and had a broody hen (Stella) so she’s been sitting on the (not fertile) eggs for about 20 days. I separated her from the rest of the flock, but they can all still see each other. The chicks hatched on the 20th and I picked them up from the post office early...
