Haha, thanks! It was partly out of necessity, because I had to be out of town for ten days and I knew my husband had neither the desire nor the inclination to spend any more time than necessary taking care of chickens. So I was trying to make it as easy for him as possible, and having the hens living in harmony with the chicks was a huge part of that. I was thrilled when it all worked out!What a delightful story! Three broody adoptive mamas! Just wonderful!
I commend you for sticking with your broodies and being patient while allowing this "family" to form.
It was so fun listening to all three mama hens cackle at the food while the chicks ran around from one to the other to see what they'd found.
