Crowing
I have a buff orpington who's brooding for the first time, her eggs are due to hatch in the next 4-6 days. I currently have day old chicks in the brooder and i tried to see how'd she react to it by slipping it under her and waiting for it to come out, and she went crazy when it did, didnt want that chick near her whatsoever. I've heard sometimes broody hens will sit on eggs and not take the chicks that hatch out, is this a possibility here? I've had several broody's in the past and i usually slip chicks i get from tsc or such and such under them and they all did fine, so this is new to me, as i never had any reject chicks.
