I got 18 baby chicks this year and decided to see if one of my 1 year old girls would help raise them in the hopes it would make for an easier flock integration later. I don’t have a rooster so none of my hens have had eggs to hatch before. I tried first with my Delaware since she is the most docile but she’s also easily scared and she was too skittish and freaked out the baby chicks. I put her away and grabbed one of my broody Ameraucanas next and so far all is well. I am watching closely to make sure it stays that way. Does anyone else have experience trying this? If so, how did it go?
