I have a serama hen with 8 chicks that are about 2 weeks old and I had 7 serama eggs in the incubator that just hatched. Has anyone tried having the hen adopt more chicks with success?
Rarely, some folks with super broody birds like silkies have done this, but overall it's a poor idea. At 2 weeks, momma knows who her babies are and has no instinct to mother any other littles. She's likely to see them as competition for resources and attack them.
