Last week, I hatched some chicks. They are in a brooder now.
I have heard that cochins are very broody. I was wondering how you get a hen to take to chicks that are not their own. My cochin has not even started laying, so I'm not suggesting to give the chicks to her. She's 23 weeks old, very gentle and friendly. I'm just curious how it's done, if ever I want to try it in the future.
Thanks.
