Title: Chick fostering success! Thanks and pics.....

Super hen! 8 off her own and 10 from the inccy. :excited: First day out and she is teaching them all how to dust bath. And what is especially pleasing is seeing them out being looked after, when otherwise they would have been stuck in a box with a lamp for at least another week or so.

Did they all hatch on the same day, or are the incy chicks younger?
