I recently had a Silver Laced Wyandotte go boordy, late in the season. She is several years old, but although she lays only occasionally, I keep her to set eggs. She goes boordy every year, sometimes will set and raise 2 clutches in a year. A few will be hers, and any others I want to hatch without a lot of work or worry, she doesn’t care. She hatched ducks for me last year. This year she hatched a bunch of Ameracaunas, and on day 2, when they were all hatched, I put 2 young peacocks in with her and the chicks in the outdoor pen. She pecked them to go away a bit on first day, but by the next day they were part of her brood. It is so funny to see them in the nest with the rest of them, they were always twice the chicks size. But all are growing well, I mix in turkey finisher and lots of veggie scraps with their feed, so everybody gets fed well. When the chicks were really small, I kept chick feed in a small cage that only they could get into, inside the run. Everyone is happy here in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. (We are 2 and a half hours North of Detroit, Mi.)
