[1TurkenLover]

One of my Banty Hens Hatched out 2 chicks, & all are now in spare room in Brodie pin in 100 gal trough, " Concerns" I will have 25 mixed Banty Chicks arriving by Friday! Can Hen take care of that Many OR will she need to go Back with Main Flock ?

She will probably only take care of her two, and will want nothing to do with the other 25.

Correct, kinda we Picked em up @ Post office this early AM I put Box in & took Chicks out one @ a Time S-l-o-w-l-y she tried to get them All under her Little wings Momma got about 6 under then she went to gather the rest Under.. . over & over she tried. After a few min she started Attacking them. ? Pecking & holding down to continue to peck them.. So I put her back with main Flock. Chicks are Under Heat Lamp in Trough chirping. Banty R Cute LiL Buggers too

Chicks R bout same size.. Maybe they were TOO MANY @ once.

#1 Day one, Figured out Water Nipper. I had to raise it up so too see the Red Shinny part.
