I have a 4 year old New British Game Hen [ Banty } and she has been the best mother of any hen I have had. Now that she will not lay any longer, I am wondering if she also will not set? I suppose I know the answer -- but I need her to take care of baby chicks - because she keeps them for 6 weeks and really gets them off to a good start. Her name is Ashley, and I used to write children stories about her because she is so smart and different from the rest of the flock.
