as many as she can keep covered. i have a med size silkie sitting on 10 large chicken eggs. she flattens out like a pancake. they are very good momas.

I have had one on a dozen and she covered good but I think she could keep it humid the membrane stuck to the first two to pip and they didn't make it out
