I have a young hen that has gone broody about 3 times so far this summer. I didn’t bother breaking her broody streaks and the middle one lasted for 3 weeks. This time around, I wanted to give her a chance. Roosters are not allowed in our town so no chance the eggs were fertile or going to hatch. TSC said they got a shipment of chicks, all less than 1 week old they said. So I got 6 and put them all under her tonight. She had done well…even nudged a couple of them under her wing & the chicks got quiet as they got under her. Everybody is probably asleep for the night. Keeping my fingers crossed this works out well. Any tips what to look for in the morning? I’m hoping the chicks bond to her & she to them. What should I do about the other non-broody girls in the flock? I have a brooder set up inside just in case.
