Ok Is this "normal?

[luvchicks8]

I have a LF cochin who is setting on eggs, I mean ALOT of them I think she has about 20 plus under her? Can she really handle that many?

Anyone know? should I remove some?

I have had only one broody hen hatch out chicks, so I'm no expert.

If it were me, I would let her have them as long as her bottom was covering them. Also, they might have developed already (!) and I wouldn't want to kill chicks.

Just my 2 cents!

I have read about big fluffy Buff Orpingtons handling 20 eggs before, but I have only read about it.
