Hi, I have 14 hens, I rooster, five of my hens are banties. Anyhow, My kids usually get the eggs but skipped out and left them not picked up for two days, when I work they get them. Anyhow, when I went to get eggs there was a bantie laying on them. My questions are can a bantie set and hatch prob 4-5 bantie eggs and about 7-8 full size eggs? Can she generate enough heat? Also, can I get her up and take some of the eggs, a reasonable number of eggs? What is a reasonable number? I have had chickens since august of 08, just never had them when brooding. Thanks so much, any other info I need to know? Thanks again.
