I'm so glad to have this forum to turn to when I have questions!
I have a broody blue cochin who has been on eggs for 2 weeks, and now my black cochin has started sitting. They have both hatched out clutches in the past and have been good mothers.
I have a little version of my big coop which I call the broody coop, and that's where blue cochin is now. I was thinking about snatching a couple of her eggs and giving them to black cochin in a second nest box in the broody coop, but it sounds like I'll have to either find another spot for her to sit on her own.
Thanks for all of the info! This forum is a great resource.
