Most of the time for me, a momma hen rases them so she is the boss of that. But I cut up scraps if I want the chick to get some. Small enough for them and toss them away from the larger birds.
Our sweet girl Cindy is broody again. She is a silver laced Old English Orpington. However, the eggs are a mix of possible; polish, bantam coaching, polish bantam coaching cross, polish-ameraucana/cross, bantam cochin-ameraucana/cross and pure silkie.
This is her 4th or 5th flock she will be...
