Gargoyle Terminator Broodys!

Two Broodys On Same Nest
I have two broodys on the same nest. There are 4 eggs. The eggs are not theirs. The eggs are due to hatch Monday. One broody is a Japanese bantam. The other is half D’ Uccle/half LF. Neither one has ever brooded a clutch before or raised chicks before. They’re both just under a year old...- CannedMonster
