2 Broodies on the same nest??

[melissabc]

I have 2 hens that are sitting in the same nest .. this is the first time I've ever had a hen want to hatch eggs . Is it going to be okay with 2 mama hens ? Will the babies follow both mothers around after they hatch ??

I would pull one of the hens off and break her of broodiness. Make certain remaining hen can cover all the eggs. Do a search on procedures for breaking broodiness.
