    Stubborn broody serama, how many chicks?

    My broody serama won't give it up, we don't even have a rooster, and now shes sitting on a superball since I took the eggs from her. The feedstore sells chicks, but only the LF are sexed, shes not a tiny tiny serama, do you think she could handle 2 or 3 LF day olds?
