    So many questions! (Getting hen to accept chicks)

    I would say very aggressive. I snatched before it could get violent. I was afraid this was the answer I would get. I had the brooder set up just in case. I wasn’t planning on raising more chicks myself, but thought it would be fun for her (and me!) to let her raise some.

    So many questions! (Getting hen to accept chicks)

    I have a broody hen, about 3 weeks in I think. Twice she has left a clutch to go sit in an empty nest. I went today and got day old chicks.

    I had some chicken drama, involving a Fox and some hens. My set up is free range with a large secure coop for feeding, sleeping and laying.

    Stainless steel commercial baking sheet pans for poop board

    Not a Brahma...

    Yes, I got them from tractor supply, and I did look to see what they sold, but it wasn‘t helpful. I think you are right... I’m leaning towards isa Brown and/or golden comet.

    I’m brand new to the chicken world, but... I’m pretty sure these 5-6 week old ladies aren’t Brahama’s as advertised! 😅 Any ideas what they may be? l
