    Chicken hatching quail eggs?

    Your standard chicken? Yes, she could hatch chicken eggs. Probably 10-12. If she’s a new broody and never had chicks before I’d recommend doing no more than 5-7 eggs because it can overwhelm them having too many their first time.

    Chicken hatching quail eggs?

    You are correct. A standard bird will crush the eggs. Thank you for the tag!

    Chicken hatching quail eggs?

    I would not do it with a standard chicken, they are way too big and will crush the eggs. You need a bantam to sit on them. Here is my bantam. She is very small and had 10 eggs (2 chicken and 8 quail). All of them hatched!
