You may know or not know ive recently hatched 6 chicks who are now 3 weeks old, ive now got 9 welsummers in to hatch due next tue/wed, my banty has gone broody now better late than never i suppose, just wondering how many eggs she could cover, gonna try some off ebay :?

maybe 6 large and 10 banty depends on the size of the bird, place eggs under her and see if she can safely cover them all if not remove some untill shes comfy.
