My broody mama, a buff orp, is raising her 6 chicks currently & they're getting big at 6 weeks old. I want one of my hens to raise more chicks before fall. What are the odds of this mama taking new chicks when her big ones are 6wks?
OR would I have better luck giving babies to a hen who has been a mama in the past but isn't currently broody?
