Hens driving me Nuts

Our take

Welcome to the delightful chaos of chicken parenting, where Rosi, my feisty Brahma hen, is driving me absolutely nuts! Rosi adores chicks, and her relentless attempts to snatch the little ones from another broody hen have turned my days into a feathered frenzy. Last year, I thought I’d found the perfect solution by introducing some day-old Brahma chicks, but this time, Rosi wasn’t having it. She pecked at them until they squawked, leaving me to rescue them and place them safely in a rabbit cage in my bathroom. Meanwhile, Rosi is on a mission to reclaim her coveted chicks, and let’s just say, she’s not too pleased with the current arrangement. Who knew chicken drama could be this entertaining—and exhausting?

Sooo,

My Rosi (Brahma) loves chicks. And because of this she tried everything to steal away the Chicks of the other Hen who went broody first and hatched three Babies.

She wasn't interested in brooding herself and I thought : "Get her some day old chickens."

Last year, this worked perfectly fine and she raised 8 happy Chickens.

So I got four Brahma chicks and Rosi hated them. Pecked on them till they screamed (removed them immediately) and waddle off to try to steal again from the other Hen (Chicks and hen are separated, Rosi has no chance to get them).

She still tries like 3-4 times a Day.

So now I have four chicks in a Rabbitcage in my Bathroom, an Angry mother Hen who would like to kill Rosi (maybe I thought about joining her for a second) and Rosi, who is still mad at everyone for not getting the Chicks she wants.
