ok so, as of right now, I have three 10 week old Easter egger roosters. this is my first go around with roos and I'm so excited to breed them with my hens! although, I was wondering if hens are good mamas? I know that people have bred them not to sit on their eggs but do they still have a motherly instinct? hypothetically, if one of my hens goes broody with fertile eggs under her, and they hatch, will she kill the chicks? and I would definitely seperate her from the flock so the they wouldn't harm the babies. :cd
