My broody hen killed three chicks as they hatched and we had to take the remaining eggs from her. Of the remaining seven eggs, one has hatched, one was a dud, three have pipped and two have not, though they were alive yesterday. I wasn't prepared for this and am trying to hatch them in a box with a 60 watt bulb and damp towels/bowl of water. It's about 95 degree F in there right now. I'd really love to not have to raise these chicks by hand, as I wasn't planning it into my schedule. If anyone has a broody hen they think would adopt day-old chicks, and doesn't mind parting with her for at least a couple months, I would really appreciate the help. I've called around to sellers near Syracuse but their adult hens are either sold out or really expensive.
