    Moving Broody/Adopting Chicks

    Hen did Not accept chicks last night, no talking pecking at chicks when they came out or moved.... so I placed her on the roost.

    Hello, I have an Australorp that went broody on me, we only have two chickens and so I thought this was a perfect time to enlarge our small backyard flock. Maybe it's because of the craziness going on right now, but I couldn't find any hatching eggs of breeds I wanted for less than $55+shipping...
