calling any one from missouri

I started my tall ones on 2/28 (better boy-big boy-chocolate cherry (my fave)). The shorter ones on the bottom were started on 3/9 (other odd varieties from Baker Seeds)
Yeah, I waited much too long, I'd have to look at my sheet to see when I started the seeds. I have some Cherokee Purple seeds from Baker from last year that sprouted. Went to my normal greenhouse but they only had tiny things... I did find a few plants at another place and yeah the price of plants at the big box stores is a bit high.

Hey, so I mentioned that I have a broody sitting on 4 eggs (due 5/4) & I have no idea if they’re viable or not. I’d like to sneak a few (6?) day old chicks under her. Closest hatch date at Cackle is 4/28. Do you think this date/# of chicks is likely to work? First time mama, though many times broody, 3 year old Buff Orpington.

(I know, I know... I should be posing this q in another forum, but I like it here.)

Thanks

If she accepts the adopted chicks, she would likely abandon her eggs, that’s a big time gap. I like to candle the broody’s eggs when she’s off the nest for her little break. Then you’d know.

Thanks for your quick response.

I wasn’t sure how much of a time gap was acceptable.

I tried candling this morning, couldn’t tell a thing. (Big dark area, little light area.) I’ll go look at pics & try again tonight when it’s darker. She’s sitting on 2 brown & 2 green eggs.
