We had a broody hen. So we put her in our tsc cage and let her hatch 3 chicks. Now the chicks are 5 weeks old. Broody mom has laid 2 eggs but still mothering them.
Now we have another broody. We have tried putting her in a cage with wire floor to give her nothing to heat up against. But on day 4 she's still puffed out and acting up. Should I take out old momma hen and put new broody with 5 week old chicks and see if thats good enough? Just trying to not have chicks in November.
