I have a mixed breed bantam who has never layed an egg decided to go broody we moved her and the eggs to seperate coop which sits next to my big one her eggs didnt hatch as planned so I bought 5 4 day old keets n put under her they are 2 1/2 weeks now very good mom in the beginning but she seems to have lost a little interest shes still protective of them they eat n drink fine.on their own but hollars if shes not by their side she has been trying whatever she can to get out of her pen n seems to be trying to get back in the run with all the other hens with keets still being so young when is it a good time to seperate her from them and put her back in with the other hens in my big run I cant put the keets in there because our ee rooster has tried getting to them ever since he discovered them and we have 2 pretty feirce bantam hens that team up on everyone big or small
