[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1167411, member: 21194"] That's just weird. Years ago I hatched out a lot of eggs under hens and never had one kill chicks. I remember in the spring I'd even order 25 baby chicks to be picked up on the same day that eggs were due to hatch. The first night after the eggs hatched I'd go to the pen where I had the hen and slip the store-bought chicks under her. She'd take care of them just like the ones she'd hatched. And it was pretty funny watching her trying to cover all of them up at night. (I'd only do this when it was late enough in the year that the chicks wouldn't get too cold.) [/QUOTE]
