[bantam novice]

Hello all,
I have just had 1 chick (so far) hatch from a clutch under a broody bantam.  I also have another bantam just gone broody and a friend has offered me some more fertile eggs for her to sit on.
My dilemma is that I only have the one spare coop for brooding.  I am wondering if it would be feasible to let another bantam sit on eggs while there is already a bantam and chick.  Any thoughts?

Hi
I'm not that experienced but I would be a bit concerned that a broody sitting on eggs could cause the new mum some anxiety. Also the chick running past the broody could cause her to peck at the chick.
I have seen a breeder keep a broody hen in an A4 box with a lid on, filled with bedding and he then removed the broody twice a day for her to excercise, don't know if this is good or not. It might just give you the breathing space you need tho.
