    Looking for reliable way to purchase an assortment of chick eggs

    I second the Craigslist search[ what I've done], with maybe Facebook marketplace as another possibility. You'll get a much higher hatch rate if you buy eggs locally over having them shipped.

    Momma hen pushed new chick out?

    I would put her under the broody hen tonight. I'm far from an expert, but 2 weeks is a big enough of a difference in age I think this one would get picked on a lot and not do well.

    Butchering and processing 2 year olds
