I have a broody hen, her name is Pickles (she is ALWAYS broody ). We are scheduled for baby chicks 5/15. Is it even a reasonable thought to bring her inside to mama the babies if she’s still broody? They’ll be mailed to us. I can’t put them outside w her bc I don’t think our top hen will be accepting. I also wonder if bringing Pickles inside would cause our other Silkie to be lonely (we only have 3 hens; 2 Silkie buddies and our loner Sebright). I have a regular brooder set up but wondered if this would be better.
