Hi everyone
Have had a look online but cant seem to find anything on this subject so hoping someone will be able to answer my question.
We have a few Aracuna hens. 1 in particular is broody alot and has just hatched her second lot of chicks. A couple of days after the chicks hatched another 1 of the hens became broody and has since taken up co parenting with the mother hen and her chicks. Is this normal? Mother hen is fine with it. They roam round together with the chicks, feed together and sit on the chicks together.
