In the Brooder
We just got 5 day old Light Sussex chics and decided to use our Silkie as a surrogate mum. She had been broady for aabout 2.5 weeks. It seems to be a success but what we have found is that she is purring a lot of the time - they are all inside at the moment as it is still cool at night. Chickens certainly are amazing always showing another side to their personalities. Did some research on this topic and hopefully it means that she is totally content to be raising these new chics.
