Kristen and Matt from Carolina Coops discuss how to take advantage of a broody hen to add more chickens seamlessly to your flock. In this video of a small 4'x8' chicken coop made for a retirement community in Winston-Salem, the residents use the chickens as therapy and wanted to add to their existing flock. Kristen bought an assortment of baby chicks for the blue cochin, who went broody, to mother and protect. The chicks don't need a heat lamp with the mother hen around, plus she will ensure the babies get accepted to the existing flock. https://carolinacoops.com/ 919-794-3989
