We're getting more chicks! This is our second round. Our first was in May, and we hatched them here. But this round is coming from Ohio!
My question is, I'm planning to give these chicks to our broody hen who has been broody for months. If she does not accept them, I'll see what our silkie does with them. If no one accepts them, we'll raise them in a brooder. That's a last resort, though. I don't want to have to introduce them into the flock. Has anyone had experience introducing chicks to a broody hen?
Thanks!
