Broody Japanese bantam

[lakota67]

My bantam hen has been sitting on what I finally realized, unfertilized eggs. My bantam rooster as recently killed by my neighbors new dog. I had hoped my hens eggs were from that rooster. Should I take her eggs away from her? I do have another hen brooding with 5 eggs she is a barred. Should I take an egg from my barred and give to my bantam? I didn't want to traumatized her more since she lost her mate. Thanks for any suggestions.

I might give her two of them in case one doesn't hatch and leave the barred bird with three.

Good luck, hopefully she's a good mommy.
