I would make sure she has NO eggs. stealing others eggs... she needs to know this is all there is. make sure the chicks have chick food and water close by. One of my broody's that has grafted chicks laid her first egg in a longgggg time yesterday! she has been broody for ever!

Congratulations! successful graft! I would put the other chicks under her as well. OMG so much easier to take care of. or actually "not" take care of....

Well?? howed it go.... Is howed a word...?

enough? no such thing... you will love watching your hen with chicks. I don't want to even get started hatching.... chicks are bad enough! can't even go to the feed store....

Quote: I completely agree! I have layer pellets for the hens but everyone eats the chick starter (unmedicated) make sure you have oyster shell available. broody's are amazing.

At night. while they sleep. take out the golf ball and slip under chicks. wait a couple minutes until everyone settles down. she will wake up and "hey look what I found!"

I "grafted" 4 chicks to two broody's a month ago, in the same box. I will never brood chicks in a box again if I have a broody. I did separate them from the rest of the flock for 2.5 weeks. I did it at night and checked them at first light. absolutly no problem. good luck!!
