I have a question that may have already been addressed here but I haven't read the whole thread. I have a hen that just went broody yesterday and I have chicks that have just hatched today and probably tomorrow also. Is there an amount of time I need to leave the broody on the eggs before I can safely slip the chicks under her. I don't want anymore chicks so I figured I would just add a chick and take a couple eggs and keep doing that until all the eggs are gone and the chicks are out of the bator. Do you all think that will work or do you have other suggestions?
Thanks
Carolyn
