I have 2 broody hens - I am letting them hatch babies . Question 2 chickens on one set of eggs! Who raises them??? Will they both? Will they fight over babies?first time letting them hatch there babies
 
Allowing two broodies to hatch one clutch of eggs is not without it's risks.
Sometimes it works out beautifully and both mothers raise the chicks together.
Sometimes when the chicks start to hatch, things go south and babies get accidentally killed.
I would guess that how well the hatch goes would depend largely on how the hens feel about each other. If they got on nicely going into broody mode, I would think it will go well.
