Mother hen talking to day old chicks underneath her.

Freida is a four year old Silkie hen who was not broody yesterday. The chicks underneath her were hatched in an incubator and given to her experimentally to see whether she would adopt them without being broody. She did! I don't recommend this with any hen as it can go terribly wrong if the hen rejects the chicks.
