I hatched them in the incubator and momma hen just hatched two out in the barn with I brought the ones from inside outside she claimed them as hers now she won’t even let me hold them! They were my babies first !!! Lol

Good luck to the momma! 21 chicks is a lot!

What a good girl!
I'd love for one of my girls to go broody and raise chicks for me. So much more natural and enjoyable. Lucky you.

My little silkie Betty hatched and raised 15 fluffy butts last year. She had help from my roo Butch. They are great parents.

That's great. My Silkie Momma raised her Silkie Chicks till 6 weeks and my Hatchery Chicks were picked up and peeping like crazy so I went to Coop and brought in my Silkie Hen. She now is raising 11 Speckled Sussex Chicks. She was so excited seeing all the new babies..

Was she broody before the chicks?
