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.

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.

That's good too hear. I'll be taking pictures of my only Silkie/Brahma cross tomorrow for updates.

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.
I hope the other egg hatches.
