Hi,
I've recently had two broody hens hatch two lots of chicks (rather too early in the year). They are a week apart in age. The first broody rejected one chick but the second broody is a wonderful mother and has taken the older, rejected chick this evening. Is a two week old chick OK with a brood of one week old chicks (7 in number)?
