Giving Broody chicks question

Up date

I gave her the chicks and she was thrilled I might have gone over board as I gave her 20+ chicks but she is doing great. I had already seperated her from the other hens so that was not an issue I am very glad I did it because when I candled her three remaining eggs only one was viable. So she is now a happy momma has already started taking the babies out foraging.


she looks quite pleased with herself! 20 is a lot for one hen to cover, typical is 12 or even 14-16. make sure they are all under her at night for warmth. also, make sure there is shade available inside their home :) good call separating her btw. she is going to be a great mom!
 
She has done an excellent job of covering everyone and seems so pleased with her brood attacking anyone who comes near them my kids included lol
