I wish I could loan you Mocha, who has gone back to brooding after raising the babies she took over from Nugget.
I wish I could trust one of my other broodies to take over for her! Thus far, the three in the main coop, while spectacular broodies for their own babes, have not been welcoming of the other hens' chicks. I suppose I could try taking the little one out to Athena since she really wants to mother... but Athena also wasn't the greatest mother, so that may not work out, either, and that coop is further away from the house so less likely for me to hear if something is going wrong... My safest bet is probably just to bring the little one in to the brooder, even if it will be a pain in the butt to treat all of those chicks beforehand.
