Hi All

Just a quick question if you have a broody and she hatches some chicks what steps would you then take to re-introduce the chicks into the flock?

thanks Steve

I'm only a novice and only have 2 chicks and 2 hens but for first 3/4 wks mum and chicks were in an ark where the other one could always see them . They were all put together at night and sometimes non-mum had a go. She showed more and more interest and now they go round as a 4some and both hens look after the chicks.
Good-luck.
