To breed or not to breed?

Hi Everyone,

One of my black rocks has gone very broody and is currently spending alot of time in the nest boxes. She is very warm with her tail feathers in the air and is trying to snatch eggs off the other girls to sit on.

I was wondering about purchasing fertile eggs but wondered if it would be ok for her to hatch these. We have a single coop only that is very big and can hold 40 birds and there is currently 20 in there at the moment. Would I need to separate her away from the others or will she be ok in one of the nesting boxes she is sat in all the time?

I've added an extra nesting box in the coop as she is currently hogging one of them...

any advice about this would be appreciated as would any about breeding in general!

Thank you!

Andy

Thanks Joy.

does anyone have one for sale?

Thanks

Andy
