9 days ago my daughter noticed that her banty cochin has gone broody. We've left her with the 3 other hens, but had to remove the rooster because he got an eye injury(now I'm wondering if she didn't do it). My question being, can I leave the 4 hens together and let her chicks hatch in the coop? They don't seem to bother her and they are all laid back. I would assume that the rooster should be kept away from her and the chicks? Any wisdom is appreciated.
