I sold all of my adult chickens but am keeping two, broody hens for my sister. When I hatched out a clutch of Blue Laced Red Wyandotte eggs and a bunch of mille fleur/calico eggs recently, I decided to put those broody girls to work!
It's so funny ~ one of the hens takes care of the cochin chicks and one takes care of the BLRW chicks! They are all in the same pen but only the hen with the BLRW has brought her chicks outside, so far.
I have to admit, it's fun having 'chickens in the backyard' again!
It was very quiet the other day with no chick, chick,chickens!!!!!!!!!!
