Can I.... Broody hen ???

[mommto3kiddos]

My girls are a ways off from becoming broody, but I was talking to my husband about adding some quail babies to our flock next spring..

If I have a hen go broody can I give her some quail eggs to set??? Will she raise quail babies??

If a hen goes broody she will sit on any eggs....BUT...if the hen is a heavy hen she just might break quail eggs.
