Slide the chicks under the broody after dark. I've done that four times in the last two years...worked with 3 different hens!Ok, I will! Thank you!
I am buying a broody hen on Sunday, who is driving my friend insane. I’m scared that if I give her eggs, she will stop incubating for the Winter before they hatch. So I’m going to try to buy as many chicks as I can fit under her, keep them in the brooder, and give them to her as soon as I get her settled in her new home!
I’ll let you guys know what happens!
