How long do you need to let the hen be broody, sitting on eggs, before you slip babies under her?? Is a week long enough? I have access to 3 day old chicks now but she's o Lu been sitting about a week.

Does anyone know what you get when you cross a black sex linked (female) and a Rhode Island Red too? We had 6 chicks hatch yesterday-3 are yellow and 3 are black--is the color still se linked in the offspring??
