OK so just wondering about some logistics. I got an incubator and put in some welsummer and Maran eggs. Turns out the temp gauge was way off, and only ended up with 2 chicks. So I decided to try another batch with just my barnyard mix and a second sensor. Yay! 23 little fluffy nuggets! (I am excited to see how the welsummer x Russian orloff turns out). Well, it's been rainy, so my existing flock have been in their hut most of the time, so I didn't realize my buff orpington was hoarding eggs. We took a few, and sure enough, they are developing, I'd guess about a week in. My question: will the buff orp be OK to just raise them with the flock? My brooder is in use at the moment, and I don't have a separate area for her and the eggs at this point. Should I build a new setup to move them into?
