Good morning chicken friends!
We have a clutch of eggs and our neighbor brought over a broody hen last night. We have a separate crate set up for her, because our current coop isn't large enough for a separated area.
She has access to food and water and enough room to walk around.
Seems like it should work!
She has been settling in, but laying next to the nest or in front of it! She hasn't quite adopted the eggs.
Anyone have experience with adopting a broody hen??? Any idea how long it will take, if it works at all???
Thank you sooooo much for your help!!!
