I have a Mille Fleur Bantam that is broody for a day or two, but will then hop off the nest and go about her business for a week or more and then go broody again. Since this is the 3rd time she's done this in the past 2 months, I've been thinking about giving her some chicks.
My questions is, will that work if she's not committed to her broodiness? Most of the threads and friends I've talked to say their hens will stay on the nest for weeks at a time. I could raise the chicks myself as I've done many times in the past, but I'm feeling lazy.
Thanks all!
