Congrats erin lynn .. so, this is your first time hatching with a broody? In my opinion, watching a proud mumma hen raise her chicks is a beautiful thing and you are in for such a treat.

If I can, just wanted to ensure that you have a Plan B in case they are not happy raising the little ones together.

I am not saying it will happen in your case but sometimes there can be fights and squabbles over the bubs and the little ones can get injured. I hope that is not the case for you but a Plan B [separate areas] is good to have, just in case.

Please keep us updated with how you go and of course, pictures!

Yes I have a brooder all set up and ready to go I actually have two sister hens sitting on the same nest together. I read that this can happen sometimes they have about 25 to 27 eggs they are sitting on so November 8th I should have some babies YAY!!!!!
