Hi everyone! I have a few questions, any help is appreciated!
1. How often is it that a broody will abandon her nest/eggs? I don’t have a incubator, so i would be very dependent on the broody not doing that.
2. Does a hen have to be broody to be “motherish” or get along with chicks? My serama loved my silkie, but we gave him away. So now she is very lonely, and tries befriending the other chickens, and following them. Though they are her age, and much bigger. If i bought her some chicks at TSC, could she possibly befriend them well?
3. Should i just buy her a chicken her age? Seramas are a bit sassy, and she is to. Im just worried they might not get along, but it might be a better option.
