I have a very broody hen who has been sitting on eggs and at last 1 chick has hatched and is perfectly fine and healthy. Here's the problem.....now my hen won't sit on the remainder of the eggs since the hen is so obsessed with this chick. Hen and chick are separated from the rest of the flock in their own coop for now. I was really looking forward to many more chicks..... so here's my question.
Has anyone had successs adding chicks (that weren't hatched by mom in this case)? To Mother hen and chick.
I'd like to take advantage of my very attentive hen raising maybe 6 more chicks for me.
I'd appreciate any input you have on this.
