Her eggs never hatched. So I went to the farmers' supply and bought 6 chicks that we slipped under the hen at night. She accepted them right away and is so proud of herself: http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/133397690 <http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/133397690> http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/133397703 <http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/133397703>She sits with all 6 chicks under her wings and clucks softly to them. I love chickens! Tina -- Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com
