Posted - May 17 2015 : 11:30:00 AMAfter three clutches of laying (over 2 years), our broody hen finally hatched a chick!!!! It has been adorable to watch mama and baby. Mama is protective and caring. I still worry though. They are in a pen with 22 other chickens. Mama doesn't want anything or one near her and baby. I thought about moving them, but not sure where or if they need to be??? I haven't had a hen hatch eggs in 15 yrs!

We had to separate mama and baby last night. The older hens finally started picking on them . :(
Posted - May 17 2015 : 9:15:24 PMWe have to separate ours, the other hens and roo will kill the babies, or my husband's little dog or worst of all is finding a huge chicken snake with his belly full of my babies.I just pinned two bloody mommies this weekend. I hope they are successful. There is nothing cuter.
