    Poor Chicken Mama

    i had 2 girlies laying on eggs at the same time. when karen's hatched, JJ stopped laying on hers. she walks back and forth outside the enclosure. I think she thinks the babies are hers. i feel so bad for her. opinions on getting a couple chicks from the store and giving them to her?
