Need some advice:

I have my first broody bantam cochin - she only has one of her own eggs but I've put 5-6 other bantam cochin eggs under her - this is the second day
She is in a big coop/pen with 15 other bantam cochins (2 roos, 13 various aged pullets - 10wks. to 8months)

Should I move her & eggs to a coop/building that we built for the purpose of using as a nursery - isolation - grow out pen or will she be fine in her coop with the others during incubation, after hatch etc.?

thanks


Also, how many LF eggs can a bantam lay on?

Hatched out 5 Lemon blue/splash bantam Cochins the other day! Yay!!!!!!!

And also put 19 Goldenlaced btm. Cochin eggs under two broody hens. I am so excited!

I'm new at this, but last spring I had 2 broody bantam cochins. I moved them out of the big coop to their own space. I even sperated the two of them, because they kept switching nests !! I put 6-8 LF eggs under each one. The eggs were large, not x-large or jumbo.

I kept each momma with her chicks until I was sure they had a good start.......................... about 2 weeks.

JC our White Cochin (Stadard & Large Fowl).
She's sweet, but she is a diva.. She is picky HOW you feed her treats.
*sigh* But she makes it up for that face and build!
