I have a cochin bantam sitting on 8 serama eggs for the past week. Then I had a smallish OEGB go broodie (she has hatched chicks before), and I have 10 Silkie eggs coming tomorrow.
Should I switch the 8 serama eggs from the cochin to the OEGB and give the 10 silkie eggs to the cochin? The reason I am wondering is I that 10 silkie eggs might be too much for the OEGB.
If I do switch, will it be detrimental to the seramas to change broodies in mid-stream?
Or, am I worrying for nothing and the OEGB can handle 10 silkie eggs with no problem?
Here is a pic of the OEGB in question. She is the brown one in the middle.
