    Week-old chicks…now other hen has gone broody

    We have a small flock of three hens and a rooster and are letting the hens hatch and raise their own chicks. We have three chicks being raised by two hens (they shared a nesting box and seem to be co-parenting well). The chicks are a week old. The other hen has now gone broody in a different...
