Hello. I currently have nine 14 week old barnyard mix pullets in the coop and six 2 week old pullets (speckled Sussex, astralorp, and partridge rocks). I also have a shipment coming in April. There will be 4 ameracuana pullets, 2 Madagascar game pullets and 2 ameracuana cockerels. Sorry for all the name dropping. I am just wanting to be thorough. I am beginning to wonder if I am in over my head? Haha! Don't answer that. Anyway, after some research, I found out the Madagascar game hens are supposed to be extremely broody. My plan is to have them raise some chicks for me. Nobody around me has any experience am I am just wanting to see if anyone here has any tips or wisdom on how to go about integration and letting hens raise chicks.
Thanks so much!
