Can I trust my chickens?
Date: 24 Jan 2005 10:25:04 -0800
I have fifteen assorted chickens (no rooster) and would like to add ten
bantams to the coop. I'd like to order the eggs and have my chickens
do the rest. There is always at least one broody hen at any given
time, the bantam is the best though. Sooo, Can I order my eggs and
trust the chickens? What special things should I do, if anything?
Thanks to any responders. Dan
