Got a question. I just had two broody hens hatch out chicks which I seperated to make equal. You know the new fad that everything must be equal so no person gets their feelings hurt... Any way I put them in my brooder and put a divider in it so each hen gets some needed room and the chicks being safe. Well there is a gap wide enough for chicks to go back and fourth as all the chicks are around one of the hens and none around the other hens. Every time I check on them I take 2-3 chicks and put them with the mother. They want nothing to do with that hen as the hen goes out of her way I believe to tend to them for that short time the chicks are there.

I am thinking about putting the hen back in general population and letting the chicks be it the one mother. Any thoughts?

My thought is to put everyone back, and let nature decide. The hens may even brood them together.
