I currently have our broody hen on 6 eggs that should be hatching this weekend. This will be our first time with hatching chicks. I was just wondering how successful others have been with letting their broody free range hen raise chicks the old fashioned way? I have everything I need to get chicks in a brooder box if necessary. I was just curious about what it would be like if she took them under her wing. What type of setup do you have for free range chicks and hens? I’d also love to hear from people who have raised chicks both ways and pros/cons.
