    Success rate giving first time broody live babies?

    I have let a hen that was under a year hatch chicks, and she did really good, and her baby went broody at around 7 months old and hatched chicks but sorta abandoned them a little early.

    My rirs do the same thing! Then, as the heavy breed they are they accidently crush their eggs sometimes and give me more work. I think they are secretly evil.

    5 mo broody hen—too young to raise chicks?

    I had same thing happen to two of my hens and they both hatched about 50 percent of their eggs. If you don't mind chicks I would say give her eggs. Also don't let me change your mind if you already made it up, I am a chick lover, I will do anything for them.
