broody hen

[barredrocklover]

hello, one of my 6 month old, barred rock hens, has started setting on eggs that are only tiny pullet eggs that she and the others have layed. i know that the eggs are fertilized by checking the yoke but will the chicks be able to hatch in a tiny egg? by the way i was out of town and the person who was taking care of my chickens couldnt find the eggs since the hen was hinding them or else i would not have let her set on them. also is it normal for a 6 month old hen to become broody?

Why not i gues, it is young, but as long as she is laying it should be fine, And tiny eggs, just let nature happen, Even If the egg is tiny, there Isn't much you can do!
