Thank you so much BYC!

Just got new baby chicks and decided to take the plunge with our broody BO to see if she would like to raise them.

It was surprisingly nerve-wracking to slip those little ones beneath her and give up control of the situation! Many thanks to everyone who gave patient advice on https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=523742 and https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=524550 It's really kind of amazing that you can post a panicked (and maybe even silly

) question and get virtually real-time advice. Thank you thank you all!

If you're interested, you can see the happy little family at:

Such a sweet picture! There is nothing sweeter looking than a hen and her babies. I can't wait until I have a broody hen to raise my peeps.
