Hello. I've had a broody hen for a week now, we have done the wired cage, kicking her out of the coop, closing the pen(they free range in the property) but she is a hard one to break the cycle
I'm wondering if I am able to get some fertilized eggs and put them under her, once they hatch , would I be able to take the chicks away, as I live inside the town limits and I'm only able to have certain number of hens. My mom mentioned the hens can get really sad when having their babies taken away, but she hasn't raised chickens for over 60 years
