Hello

Not cool, it’s what I get for slacking.

Good morning everybody!

So yo. Question for all you smart, experienced people. I have another broody (may be the same one). If I gave her an egg now she would hatch it about July, ummmm 7. But I have 13 chicks coming on the 15. If I DON'T give her an egg, what do you think the chances are that I could stuff these chicks under her and she might adopt them? I realize I'm hoping she'd be broody for a whole month, but she was when she hatched her previous chick (pretty sure she was one of the mamas). I didn't give her an egg that time until she'd been broody at least a week. What do you guys think? Should I give her some golf balls to keep her committed?

I’d give her the golf balls and when the time is right to coincide with the ones coming from the hatchery give her two eggs, that’ll help with integrating the other chicks.
