One of my broody's chicks got hurt yesterday and won't put much weight on her right leg now. There doesn't appear to be much outward sign of injury (no bloody spots), but she's obviously injured. I removed her and put her in a brooder inside so she won't have to move around too much and so she can heal (she wasn't keeping up with the rest of the flock). She's in there with a cornish X chick of the same age right now.
So here's my question... will I be able to return her to my broody after she heals? Will her momma take her back? Has anyone had to take a chick away from a broody and been able to return it?
Thanks!!
