Hello,
I have 12 - 10 month old hens (no rooster). Currently I have 5 hens; 1 Cochin, 3 Bantam Silkie's, and a Bantam Cochin Frizzle (I think), that are broody.
I have just read the posts relating to broody and have purchsed a rabbit cage. I have a few questions because I have so many to break at one time. The first is how many chickens should I pack into the cage? 25" x 19". If I should take them in teams, should I choose the ones that have been broddy the longest, or does that matter? and How will I know that they are done beeing broddy, does this take days or weeks?
Thanks!
