Grafting still possible?

[LaurenRitz]

Long story omitted. I gave my broody two chicks yesterday. This afternoon she is out of the nest with them. I have two more in the brooder.

Is it too late to graft them on? Should I just try and see what happens?

Try it and see what happens.
There is no for sure answer.

Ok. I put them out there. She seems perfectly willing to accept them--whether they'll take to her is another question. We'll see.

They refused to go under her, so she moved on top of them. All quiet except for Mama's purrs.

Good luck and let us know how they are doing tomorrow.
If she accepted them then I think it's a done deal.

Ha! I had an update but apparently didn't post it. She took all four and they're all happy.

I need to decide when to let her out of her maternity ward. She was standing at the door yesterday so I opened it, but she turned and went back to her babies.

Yay! Glad it worked out well for you.
