Well, I have 2 broody butt girls that have been sitting 10 days. I have tried to mark their eggs with a pencil "X" to make sure I know which eggs are theirs. My questions are: Do you think they will hatch and raise these chicks with the rest of the flock present in their coop? I do have a separate cage that I could put them in, but I don't want to chance moving them. When the chicks hatch, or if they do, should I let mama raise them, do they have to be in a separate pen from the rest of the flock? Will the rooster and other hens try to kill them? Thanks for any advice.
