Try to do it again at night time while she's sleeping? I heard it's the best way to get a hen to adopt chicks.I spoke too soon. She attacked it so it’s back in the incubator. Bonnie is back in the coop.. Oh well I hope she didn’t hurt it too bad? Poor little bird.

No...I'm not giving it back to her. I'll raise it here in the house along with the other one hatching. Safer that way.

Until Bonnie went horrible! Tossed it across the Brooder. I thought it was dead.

Chicks bounce, a little tossing won't hurt them. I've had a hen that raised her own chicks once, & she'd accidentally fling one, or two across the coop yard when scratching for bugs.Until Bonnie went horrible! Tossed it across the Brooder. I thought it was dead.

Not my first Broody bird. She was attacking it and pecked and tossed it. She wasn't mothering it . It's doing good so I'm waiting for the other to hatch..

I understand she wasn't being nice towards the little chick, just sharing how bouncy baby chicks can be.Not my first Broody bird. She was attacking it and pecked and tossed it. She wasn't mothering it . It's doing good so I'm waiting for the other to hatch..
I hope the other egg hatches.
