    Would a Broody look after additional chicks

    Would a Broody look after additional chicks

    Would a Broody look after additional chicks

    My broody hatched 4 eggs out of 12, I was hoping more would have hatched. But seeing that’s not the chase I was thinking of buying 2 additional chicks and add them to her family lol But will she look after the additional chicks?
