So, I am thinking of letting mama Truffles have another chick. But we think one would be best. But is this an option? I read about using fake eggs so she thinks she's doing a whole clutch but I don't know for sure if it would work.
Truffles has been a mama before. She stays in a separate pen from the rest of the flock and lives with her man Trifle and their daughter Mable (who is starting to mature more)
Trifle has proved himself as a harmless, gentle father from their last clutch, so I'm not worried about him. What I AM worried about is how Mable would react. Is it possible she would hurt it or would she help care for it or just leave it be?
(if info is needed, all three are believed to be egger bantams.)
