Mama broody was very good to dumb chick. I told DW we should put the chick with mom when it hatched, we didn't and waited a four days, nope hatched four days after she hatched the two and waited four or five more days. Momma snap dragon tried like crazy to adopt the chick all day, dumb little bugger just wanted to escape, or try to. I was hoping it would see it's four day older siblings and think cool, more like me, it would not conform! Later that day the kids brought it back inside, guess it is a human
Maybe we can try again when it is a little more active.......The meanie mom is a good broody, fluffs up her feathers, hides her chicks and bites me every time I put food and water into their cage Lol!
She's faster than me. Kinda sucks though, she was my best layer, and laid nice olive eggs, not getting very many eggs lately, just as the price of eggs has skyrocketed here. Silkies are laying more than my leghorns, and their eggs are tiny....
Night all, beers cold and yummy....
