--- Quote from: crystalcreek ---You\'d be huge, too, if you had 20 chicks parked under you! She hatched some and so did her daughter, both on the same day thanks to some careful setting of the eggs under both! I\'m letting the more experienced, older hen raise them. It\'s working great so far. Imagine her suprise when I add 25 black ones this next week from Paul. We\'ll see if she adopts them all or not.

I would be very surprised if she didn\'t try to kill them. Be careful.
crystalcreek:
I have noticed that all the birds are more prone to pick on a newcomer if it is a different color. You\'re right; I better not chance it. Maybe I\'ll give them to the other broody instead. I\'ll have to divide the pen in half to separate them.

Going to try an post an updated pic of my little cockerel. His legs are very pale blue, btu I love the barring in his tail. Haven't posted here since the changes.
