So I had a Broody Hen this spring and decided just to let it run its course. I also introduced 4 new chicks to the flock since we lost 4. The hen came off nest and for what ever reason thinks the 4 chicks are hers. She watches over them constantly , protects them from the other hens and gets all puffed up when I go into the run to play with them. I was worried they would not be accepted and would be picked on but so far the White Hen has played momma to them and they are doing great...
