I put 10 eggs under my broody silkie cross last year. That was my first time hatching anything. /img/smilies/love.gif
It was such fun that I have just ordered 10 Buff Sussex eggs for her. They should be here by Wednesday. Can't WAIT!!!! /img/smilies/jumpy.gif
Has anyone tried leaving their broody hen with the flock? I would be worried that the other birds might kill the little chicks. I'd love to hear! /img/smilies/thumbsup.gif
I ways leave my chicks with my flock... Keep in mind you should only have 3-4 chicks so that the mom can protect them all. My mommy hen is super protective... Some mothers are not. You can always try, and just keep an eye on them for awhile
