We have allowed 3 clucky Silkies to sit on eggs, after losing some of our little flock to a predator. They swap around on the nests. Is this a problem? Do they have to create a bond with their eggs/chicks and stick with one nest of eggs to do so?
Or will they all want to mother all of the chicks, and could this cause problems, jealousy etc?
Have any of you raised chicks allowing multiple mothers to care for the chicks?
