Integration with a broody hen in the mix
Hi all,
I have 19 little ones in the brooder who are 7 weeks old. One definite roo in the mix. I have a flock of 12 established 1 year olds outside including one roo.
One of my adult hens has become very broody in the last couple days. As I approach integrating the flocks (which I have never done, any advice welcomed), I’m wondering if I can house the broody hen in the brooder (which is large enough) to help with integration.
Any advice is appreciated!
