I recently hatched 22 eggs using 4 broody hens. This is the first time I have done this as opposed to buying more chicks. As it turned out, the only good mother is my Buff. The Jersey mothers got into a fighting match and their chicks had to be raised w/o a hen. My question is: can I return the Buff hen back into the adult flock and put both groups of 6 wk old chicks together?
Thanks for any help you can give.
