@ what did I do & Shellz
Ya it sucks! I was so looking forward to watching her raise her babies, instead of me for a change! She went to the nest box tonight instead of roosting , so I have some work to do to get her back to normal. Had some say to get her some day old chicks and give them to her as her own, but I REALLY wanted some Araucana/Wyandottes so I am going to wait and try again next time. Hopefully she will be back and ready in a few months...if not I will wait until next year OR buy an incubator!
I'm the same way, I wanted my hen to raise some chicks so I didn't have to. I have some older chicks, too old for her. Tomorrow is supposed to be hatch day for her. She is still sitting so we shall see. I'd love to get chicks or at least 2 chicks for her but there isn't any place near here where I could get chicks. I hope one chick hatches for her.
