Lol yeah, we have quite a few chickens about 17! I think I'll just let her hatch her chicks. And we do the exact same thing with the separation. Just never had 3 broody hens at once!lol thanks:)

ok thanks:) If you could, I'll post a picture of two eggs that could possibly be our blue laced wyandottes, and maybe you could guess which is hers? We are trying to hatch her eggs
