The runaway broody has returned with 7 chicks! This wasn't really our plan, but because our chickens have a mega area to roam, she just disappeared 3 weeks ago and obviously had been brooding out eggs.
So, now we've got 3 mamas and a total of 13 babies.
We've got them in separate smallish coops...
We've got a bit of an unforeseen problem in that we have two broody hens sitting on separate nests and one (possibly) broody sitting somewhere in the hedgerow on a nest (but we don't know where). So three broodies in total.
All three are estimated to hatch roundabout the same time, give or take...
