Thank you for your reply! I have decided to let her sit on 12 only. Still waiting for my double trouble bantams to sit together on a nest. Those two girls are a force together.

Anytime, Chicky.
I would caution you though; broodies are subject to quit on you, abandoning the clutch of developing eggs. It's a good practice to have a 'bator & brooder on standby & ready to go if she quits.
BTW, there's no such thing as a dumb question here.

That's good to know, considering I found some yesterday & tossed them over the fence to the birds. As in the post before your's, some of the birds ignored them, some ate them, & some pecked at them once, then ignored them.

Yeah they are not interested in food moving in them I think. Something about the texture I guess.

Try live King meal worms, mine love those!

They can get some nasty things from eating earthworms. I put together a list. -Kathy

We have millions of them here. I'm sure many get eaten, but I try not to worry too much about it. -Kathy
