I have an Old English Bantam who always sits on eggs from my large hens. i take them away before they develope but i was wondering if i could let her sit on them and let them hatch. she sits on 5 or 6 each time and to keep them all warm she has to put her wings out. would they hatch if i let her sit on them and if they did would they be too big for her to care for. thanks for any help
 
I would take all but maybe 3 (mark them so if the big girls keep laying around her, you know which is which). Bantams hatch and raise standards all the time...,it's kinda funny because by the time the chicks are old enough for mama to leave them be, they are WAY bigger than her!!
