Hoof In Mouth
Ok, what would it hurt, right? I am almost positive that there won't be an acceptance issue. If the chicks seem distressed, I'll just pull some out and raise them myself or keep them warm at night and then give them back to her right before dawn. We'll play it by ear.miss_thenorth said:I would do it and put in a heat lamp for back up. dont worry about it keeping ehr up, she'll be fine. It is sooooo much easier when a broody does it. i however, don't have any luck transplanting chicks under broody hens. nad my numbers are way off right now. I have 19 regular chicks and 30 meaties--only two broodies.
Ok, thanks so much everyone!!
