Isn't it funny how attached we get? I'm sitting here thinking about my poor cochin hen, Duchess, outside on the porch in the big brooder: I tried putting her with my other cochins and first my blue hen kept attacking her, then the rooster injured her hip mating her (she's delicate

) so now she has the run of the huge brooder with one frizzle cochin juvenile and a frizzle polish chick. All three get along pretty well, but Duchess is having a really tough time with this heat and has a small fan on all the time...wishing I could bring her in to sit with me but our kitty is a little too interested... glad you rescued your little one!

Funny! My daughter has a very special bantam turken who spent many hours on her laptop as a chick - drawn by the warmth. Now that same spoiled hen likes to perch on the back of her office chair, or sleep at at her feet as she's working...little too big for the keyboard! Friends for life.

I could have written a very similar post. I also have 2 2-month old roosters and a 1 month old baby. I have had them out near each other but separated just so the baby can learn to act more like a chicken. He gets better every time. But now that they're in the coop, I am definitely waiting until the baby is the same size. Those things almost pecked me to death, so I can only imagine what they would do to the baby.

I had 3, what I thought were 2 or 3 days old, which were probably more like 10 days old that I tried to put under my broody who had 3 days olds under her. She just wouldn't take these 3, not mean, but wouldn't let them eat,so I had to remove them. In the other side of the coop, I had 3 two month old banties. I put the 3 babies in that coop, in a blue tote, but then the weather got to hot for them to be in the tote. I left the tote in he coop, in a corner, where there was just enough space for the babies to get behind it. I put a dish of food and water in that little space. Within 2 days, those banties were mothering the 3 babies. There was occassional pecking, but the babies would escape around the tote. I kept the tote in there for about 3 weeks, I would just move it out slightly every few days to accomodate the babies as they grew.

I thought about doing that. The only problem is my little girl doesn't have a buddy to hide with. Sooo I guess she looks at me as her daddy. She never wants to get of my shoulder I have to force get into the coop. I'm afraid she will always be like this....
