OLD WIVES TALE ??
I currently have 3 layers. I would like to add 2 more girls in the Spring. My grandmother swears that if you give your "Top of the Pecking Order," hen a tablespoon of Sherry at bedtime and then put the new chicks under her, she will accept them as her own and raise them when she wakes in the morning.
Any Ideas?
Do I dare try it?
Is it just an Old Wives Tale?
My grandparents have owned and worked a farm for 50 years.
