My daughters 2nd grade had eggs hatch on Mothers Day. We put the babies in the coop under a wire mesh cover. Well apparently this kick started the hormones in 2 of my ladies (Thing 2 & Mini). So I asked the neighbor for some fertilized eggs.. she gave me 12. I thought perfect! Well Thing 2 broke 2 of her eggs and Mini kept getting off and sitting on the unfertilized eggs. I would remove all the unfert eggs and put her back. I was positive they would hatch.. Well we were down to eight fert eggs.. then 6.. then 3.. Cause my WONDERFUL dog decided to eat the eggs just days before hatching.. So 2 days later we have 2 new babies.. YAY!!
Anyhow my babies hatched June 1st.. AND I just received 2 more babies that hatched on the 1st as well. How can I get the mommas to take these 2 new babies?
Our Mother Day hatchlings are mingling with the other hens just fine.. and the mommas are doing great at protecting the new babies.. BUT now I have two little orphans.. Can I graft them with the 2 mommas and the 2 other babies?
