We have this broody hen... and I heard you could put a baby chick under her and she'll think she hatched it and snap out if it. We bought her a baby last night. I think this is going to have to be a post it's so long. This morning chick was out of the coop and on the ground. So I stuck her back under momma and shut the little door. Hope everything is okay in there. Momma hasn't snapped out of it yet. Advice?

One thing I have learned to the detriment of the chickens is that I need to back off and let them do their thing...just believe they are part of nature and know what they need.
This too will be a learning experience and I hope you share the results with us chicken lovers
Sadly you are absolutely correct. I'm pretty heartbroken. She killed the chick.
s o sad. There is much to love when raising chickens as pets but there are so many heart breaks too.
