Broody sister

[Duckduckgoosie]

Daisy is on day 6 of sitting on 9 eggs. Yesterday her sister went broody too! Should I give sister some of Daisy’s clutch? I don’t especially want to hatch out more than what we’ve got going. But I could give her some fresh?

Personally I would break the second hen of her broodiness.

Trying to think how- naturally I have two Silkies growing out in the little coop, so mama is just in with the general population. Today both hens are nesting the one clutch together. Maybe just monitoring but going with it…? Mama is fiesty and dominant over the others but this morning they seemed to be co-nesting and then even trading out. First time mama has been out in the yard in a week!
