We have just successfully given a broody hen, Madge, three chicks from the incubator and she has adopted them - the chicks are now a week old. We know have three more eggs that have started to hatch today in another incubator and a broody hen, Hilda, sitting on eggs that are due to hatch in 5 days time. 08 We want to put the incubator eggs with one of the hens i.e. the one who has the three chicks already, or the one due to have chicks later in the week. My question is, which hen should we put the incubator chicks with? Is it better to put them with chicks older than them with Madge (, or younger than them with Hilda, or does it not make any difference? :?
