This is great! We have a chicken who wants to be a mamma so much. She sat on duck eggs for three weeks and none of them developed like they should. So tonight we are going to put some freshly hatched chicks under her for the first time and I am super nervous. Watching your success gives me hope!

I saw this video a couple weeks ago. And I’m about to swap out the eggs that ended up being duds with 1 week old chicks. How old were the one you put in with your hen?

A few days old is ideal

@@GenerationAcresFarm just a update, their about a month old now and it worked. She started tucking them under her and they imprinted on her. I wish I could post pictures here, they’re getting big but they still all sleep with each other so I built them a bigger nesting box so they could all sleep together.

Did the other hens just roost outside? I just had a broody hatch some of our own eggs (we have rooster). She had 6 eggs. 4 hatched. It one looked like she smashed the chick accidentally. I need to see if the other two eggs hatched. So far she is still on coop and I sectioned off her area with a large plastic two piece dog crate/kennel with water food and dust bath inside of it. The opening of dog crate is in front of her nesting box so no other hens can get in. Not sure how long I can keep that set up. I took the lid of the crate off this morning so she can hop out if needed and I needed to rinse poop from the top of it lol. Wish me luck 🍀

12 is probably too many, i would do 6/8 depending on size of hen
