In the Brooder
I have a sweetgrass turkey hen that hatched 6 chicken eggs. She went broody and I don’t have a ton so I gave her chicken eggs. They hatched 4 days ago and she is amazing at mothering. I’ve watched her alot and she’s doing it all so well. Very good with them and they are doing well.
I also have 9 chicks in my home brooder that are about a week older than these 6.
What do you all think about giving the brooder chicks to the turkey mom to raise with the others that she hatched? I prefer the natural environment but not sure if it would work. Two are standard size and 2 polish and 6 bantam breeds. I don’t know if that matters.
Thank you!! This is my first hatch ever and I wasn’t sure how it would go. I’m so happy it’s going so well.
