Okay, this is a first for me.
I have 2 cochin bantums taking turns setting on one nest. Momma 1 gets off the nest to eat and go out and scratch, while Momma 2 clucks up a fit for a few mins looking at the vacated nest then hops on to keep the eggs warm.
The next time I go out, Momma 1 is back on her nest and Momma2 is out eating.
Anybody ever have this happen?
Both are seasoned and trusted brooders with a few past successful clutches east.
Should I just let them take turns? Or put eggs in a new nest for the other?
I just noticed this in the past 4 hours.
Thanks for you input!
