Last summer our friends and neighbours took some of our surplus chickens to live with their rescue hens. One of our chickens, a Silkie, went broody so we gave them some fertile eggs to put under her. This morning one of the eggs hatched and there are still two more that might produce chicks.

Jeremy carted over a chicken house and run that was made especially for mothers and chicks (they need to stay in when they are tiny) and we also gave them some chick crumbs for feeding. Good luck Silkie and baby.
