So we got a surprise the other day. Our hen we thought was dead, she’s been gone for about 3 weeks surprised my husband and came into our barn with 3 babies in tow. I have no idea we’re she has been but they are so cute! We made a brooder box and put them in it with mama hen but this is crazy I’ve never been around a hen who’s hatched her own babies. How long should I wait to reintroduce everyone together. I have ducks and turkeys that are outside during the day as well so I don’t want them to hurt the babies. I’m still trying to wrap my head around having them since I honestly thought this chicken was dead. I don’t think the babies are more than a few days old too.
