Hi fellow chicken lovers!
I have been doing some research on which is the best broody hens to add in my flocks. From what I been hearing, Silkies and Cochens are the top best broody breed. But I am concern with Silkies options, because there are some information about the hens being mean and can kill the chicks as soon they hatch. I would not mind Silkies or Cochens for helping to hatch eggs instead of buying an incubators. Any advice or information about those breed or possibly another kinds that would raise the chicks after hatching would be grateful!
