I have seen both ends of the spectrum with this group, which is what makes it so fascinating to me. Some hens with no interest in raising their offspring, abandoning them, some hens pecking at orphans, some roosters bullying and fighting all the time, and then some roosters an hens forming little groups and families and taking care of each other!
That's crazy that they attack the little ones. I have a dog who raised some kittens that were abandoned. She began lactating when we introduced them to her. She is a good mommy.
