Hopefully four chicks about to hatch but have an on and off broody!.,

[Pollmadoll]

I decided to incubate these four millefleur sablepoot ebay eggs as I have three broody hens that are so on and off. I am hoping to introduce the chicks to one of the broodies? Any tips gratefully recievedI am now at day 18

Good luck. The longer a hen has been setting (closer to 21 days) the more likely she is to foster chicks.

I agree, try the hen who's been sitting longest.

But if she will not take the chicks, do try another hen. Some will adopt chicks even if they have not been sitting long, and the only way to find out is to try each hen and see.
