@Beer can , I'd put the chick right under her at night & observe her the next day with it. I've had successful adoptions, and not successful. Good luck.
My pullet finally died. I treated her for coccidiosis. Man at the feed store showed me pics that when you do a necropsy, you can see nodules on a chicken with coccidiosis. She was a Cuckoo Maran. I was super excited about the dark eggs I was going to get from her. I think I still have one more pullet. 2 turned out to be roos. Keeping one for breeding purposes. Breed him with EEs and OEs.
In one of our pens we have a PERFECT SS! Too bad it's a roo. He is a mix, but looks just like his daddy! The speckles coming out are just gorgeous!
He is the most friendly out of that pen. Going to try to rehome him instead of butcher......I just have a soft spot for some.
Funny story: When our neighbor down the road wanted a rooster, DD offered up her favorite rooster-"Sunshine"-a GLW. We came home to get him and take him there, she started crying
"I don't want to give away Sunshine! He is the best rooster ever! He has never flogged me! Please Mom! Can't we just tell them we don't have any?" After careful consideration, as not to spoil the already spoiled child, I said, "Since they don't know which one Sunshine is, we can give them another rooster and call him Sunshine. A couple weeks later they came over all upset that a raccoon had got "Sunshine". So, DD went to the back, picked up the real Sunshine and told them, "You can have this one. He's a better rooster anyways." Guess she's not as spoiled as I thought.
@RavynFallen , The chick is so cute! I think sometimes we fuss too much over humidity. I think it's the temp that matters most.
@Alaskan , I've got broody hens!!! $$$$$ LOL!
