I have a broody hen sitting on some ceramic eggs in my main coop. There are 11 hens in total in this coop with no rooster.
I plan on placing 9 fertilized eggs under my broody hen, leaving her in the main coop with the 10 other hens. What issues might I encounter by leaving her in the main coop to hatch and raise her chicks? Will the other hens attack the chicks when they are born?
Your advice it greatly appreciated.
