Our Silkie, Fluff, has turned out male (the crowing should have given it away) and he's courting/courted our Bantam-Cochin, Beryl. The rest of the flock are four larger, standard layers. Here's the thing ... Beryl has become broody and we would like her to raise a chick. How do we handle...
We bought a variety of chickens two weeks ago and although the older, larger laying girls took to the hen house easily, the two younger ones (Silkies) huddle together in a corner of the run after dusk and we have to put them into the hen house. Can anyone help us, please?
