Help! I have a broody in a separate pen. She is on day 19 with one pip
I have another hen who went broody about 5 days ago. I don't have a rooster so she is sitting on duds. I got my fertile eggs from a lady off craig's list - these are the ones on day 18. I don't really want to go through the whole 21 days again so soon with another batch. I am wanting to slip a few of the fertile eggs under my second broody so she can hatch some too. The problem is that the only pen I can put her in is the same one as the first broody. Do you think they will be ok together? Will the mommies want to kill the other hen's chicks?
