I have three broody banties right now. One silkie, one silkie mix and one antwerp quail mix.
I have three serama hens and a rooster. They have their own side pen. I have a big coop that all my birds share- that opens to free range of yard- I know my broodies can not brood in the big coop with the rest of the flock
I want to set up my broodies for some serama eggs
Can I put all three broodies in one hatch box? Its 3 feet by 2 feet - and I can fit three separate nesting boxes in it- it doubles as a nursery is my idea- it opens up into a side yard ( the one that the seramas are currently using)
does each broody bird need her own area- or just her own nesting box ?
about how many itty bitty serama eggs do you put under one silkie sized banty? 4? 6?
I have two serama eggs from today, I just put them in a carton in the kitchen, and plan to put them under my broody once I get enough of them
but I really hope to have all three broodies working for me-- but in the same side run if possible
