Hi
This is a question just out of interest really. I have recently reduced my "flock" from 3 to 2 due to a bullying problem with Mother Hen (she has gone to great home
![biggrin :D](https://chat.allotment-garden.org/Smileys/green/biggrin.gif)
). One of my girls is persistently broody, it was my intention to let her hatch some chicks when the weather is warmer etc but that was when there were 3 of them. She would have been separated and the remaining 2 chooks would have each other for company.
Now there is only 2 I can't separate them - so my question is can a broody raise chicks is the presence of another adult hen.
I have read on another website that it can work as long as the mum is dominant. Does anyone have any experience of this?
Thanks
Ness
