Hey Everyone! I have read a lot about introducing a broody hen to an adopted chick, but there seems to be some conflicting info. I´m hoping you guys can help me! I have a coop that is elevated 3 feet with a ramp that goes into the enclosed run. I only 3 hens right now. We were hoping to give our broody Braham girl a baby easter egger in the night. I have a few questions:
1. Can I leave my broody girl in the nesting box that is not elevated, but inside the elevated coop?
2. If so, should I add baby chick food and water into the coop (usually I only keep food in the run in a treadle)?
Or Should I move my broody to a smaller cage inside the run and let the baby chick and her stay there?
Thank you for any info!
