Yes, that is why I offered an alternative way to save eggs for hatching. OP did mention eggs were being broken, although I just realized I saw it in another thread they posted. Heres what they said: "I bought a pair of game bantams and the hen has layed 4 eggs already she broke three but one is still good,but I'm worried she doesn't care for them why? She isn't broody ,can I get her broody or what can I do?please help me".

Exactly

When it happens, regardless of which boy is the papa, you are going to have some amazing looking chickens!
One more thing. Be prepared with a plan for any males you hatch. Remember 10 girls per boy. Males tend to be rough when mating, not on purpose, just that they need to hang on. This results in feathers being pulled off the females especially when there are only a couple of girls for him to mate. This leads to bare backs and heads and can even end up bloody. With 10 ladies around he can "spread the love" so to speak. If you don't have enough females you either need to get more or make a hard decision on which male to keep. When your babies hatch you will certainly have more males. What are your plans for them? Do you have a buyer? Or will you serve them for dinner? More people want females then males so be sure ahead of time you know what you're going to be doing with new cockerels. If you don't have buyers and you don't want to cull them you may need to decide you don't actually want to hatch babies. It's a gamble, they could all hatch out males. Just something to think about.
