Can I put two Broody Hens together in my brooder breaker?

[analyticalblonde]

Yesterday, after 3 days of my Ameraucana sitting in the nesting box, I knew she had gone broody. Took her off the nest and put her in my brooder breaker downstairs. Man! She was MAD!

Meanwhile, yesterday I noticed my barred rock also not moving off one of the other nesting box...Today, she is still there and hasn't moved! So, tomorrow if she still won't get off the nest, then I know she's gone broody as well.

My question is...Can I put both girls in the brooder breaker together? My brooder breaker is large enough to fit both and I don't have another breaker to use.

Try it t find out. If they fight more than a few seconds, the separate. Either way describe the results for us.

Sure, I've done it before. Just keep an eye on them to make sure they're not pestering each other too badly, as they can be awful cranky when broody.

I've had as many as three at a time in mine.
