So we bough a dozen chicks and 6 ducklings a while back and ended up haveing to put them on the porch on giant bins with heat lamps. Honey started hanging around quite a lot. She cluck at them like a momma hen would to her chicks. Really cute. Then she started sleeping next to the bins at night instead of going to roost. So I started leaving a water and feed bowl for her because she wasn't leaving her spot. After a couple weeks of her vigil, she died in the night. The boys buried her out next to where they buried the two Grannies (Dominique Hens) from when we first moved out here. Which leaves us with one original rescue hen Muffles.
It looks like of the 12 chicks we bought only 6-8 are actually hens....
