Broody babies

[sassysherri]

I am new to this and ordered chick and ducklings in March. One of my bantams is broody I think and I'm just wondering if she's old enough to raise chicks or should I keep taking her eggs and make her wait?

I have had very good young broodies, but this year I had a couple that freaked out and killed the babies. My suggestion with any broody is to always have a plan b, whether it's for if the broody won't accept our turns on them, or if none of them hatch.
