bantam eggs under black australorp

[RockyToggRanch]

I put some MFD eggs under my broody australorp. Will I have to remove the chicks when they hatch or should she be fine raising tiny ones? She'll have big chicks too.

I have never tried, but black astraulorps are such good broodies and good mamas I sure would try. We gave our broody 4 chicks that were already 4 days old, and a bigger breed than she, and she's mothering them relentlessly. They're hers, and she makes sure we all know it!
