Moving broody hen?

[savvychickz]

So..... did you move her?

Yes I did. We moved her into a little tent with water and food for her and her chicks. She adapted fine and took care of them just like she did in her nesting box outside.

Is she inside your house?

Yes, it’s very cold in Michigan and if the chick somehow like got stuck somewhere and couldn’t get back to it’s momma hen I’m guessing it wouldn’t last to long.

It worked out OK, but never again, they'd go in the broody breaker instead.

Yes! Of course one of my chickens would go broody in the middle of the winter, I don’t mind though her chicks are super cute. Just praying for no more cockerels

Yes, they are indeed cute.....but....how will you transition them back outside?
Praying will not reduce the number of cockerels
