Hi, so this is my first broody EVER. This is also her first hatch. I got her 12 eggs to hatch now we are down to 10. I was wondering if she will be able to succesfully hatch and keep warm all 10 eggs. She's a bantam hen so i got her bantam eggs but im just worried that its to much for her to handle.
 
Are they visible when she is setting? In this heat, she may do just fine with them. May as well let her try at this stage, right? Unless you have a bator and want to go that route.
 
I had a Banty broody successfully hatch and raise 13 in one batch... she hid some place to sit and hatch them and then brought them in.
Good luck with your broody... they are wonderful!
