Hi I'm new here from Bristol. I have 11 GL Wyandotte Bantam eggs under 2 of my broody bantams. They're due to hatch Saturday. Excited!

Hi there

Hope your broody bantams have a great hatch
It's so exciting and nerve wracking waiting for those chicks!

Have a broody hen, not sure what to do with her.

If you want to break the broodiness, my fail safe method is to stick them in an upside down hamster cage (essentially any cage that has a wire bottom) with food and water on a brick in each corner (so it's off the ground) in the run - this ensures she can't brood and when she sits down her tummy is cooled by the air, after a few days in here they give up!

Get her some fertilised eggs to hatch !

I agree, give her some eggs or break her from the broodiness. If it were me I would give her some eggs, then again I just can't help myself and love little chicks
