Thanks everyone! We tried briefly tonight and bailed, haha. She took to it at first and the littles got cozy quickly - I couldn’t even see them under there - but then we took the eggs away and mom seemed bewildered. We might try again tomorrow, but we have the brooder set up in the house anyway...

How high is the risk of chicks dying if they don’t bond right away? Like if they’re rejected will she kill them or just kick them out from under her? Mine are 2 days old for me and picked them up at a farm store so probably more like 4-5??.

Following this experiment!! I think we are gonna try the same thing. I am confused about food once “the family” separates. How did it go??
