    hey, sorry I haven't posted in a while. The chick is doing great, we did put him under the hen and she easily accepted him. we even got the chick 3 new siblings because then he would have been alone. The mom liked that, she accepted all 3! we have a small happy family now! Thank You! :love

    I am trying to make a decision of putting the egg back under the mother for hatching but I'm afraid the mother will step on it when the chick hatches. We have Silkies so i'm not sure if it makes any other difference according to the size. We also have seen how the mother hen acts towards the...
