Hello!
I'm a novice chicken owner to say the least! We got them for eggs....until my husband decided to let one "set". She was on a clutch of eggs for about a week when a second hen moved into the same next box with her! They shared the nest happily. Somewhere along the line, a third hen...
any ideas? We have RIRs and these white/black chickens that I was told were Australorps...but they don't look anything like the photos of those! Three hens have been setting ; 5 have hatched!
Two hens shared this nest. When the first eggs hatched, the lighter one took them and has been caring...
