Its that time where i need some advice from you all out there again .....
I have a Light Sussex hen sat on 12 eggs she started to hatch on Tuesday (12th June)
3 half hatched but died in the shell I left her to sit on the remaining eggs but I don't think there anything in the rest of the eggs so while sat there wondering what to do with her I came up with the idea of getting some day old and put the chicks them under her at night and take the eggs away. IS this a good idea??? I have a source of chicks locally so there wouldn't be any trouble getting her any Im just worried what shell do, has anyone got experience of doing this? I think she'll be a good mother .... if she does decide she doesn't like them then i can always rear them myself as i always have the brooding cage set up as there always seems to be some form of chick here due to my chicken obsession lol. So please anyone out there with advice id much appreciate it. Thanks x
