Grafting chicks to a broody who thinks something is attacking her nest

[BigBlueHen53]

That doesn't sound too bad. Thank you for sharing! I definitely need more chain link fencing. All we have right now is a 3' X 4' cage/hut combo that is adjacent to the other run. I think it's working pretty well for the maternity ward since we only have 3 chicks. I plan on rehoming 2 of them when the hen emancipates them.

Any pen will do, actually. Just get her off the nest. You can also give her cooling belly baths, that may speed the process. But pin her wings or you may get a face flapping. There's some truth to the adage, "mad as a wet hen," lol!
