Now I thought I'd introduce the grower girls which are LF to the banties. At this time last week Brillo was being broody and had comandeered the nest box anyway this week she decided that eggs weren't her thing . She is now spending all her time with the growers who are all bigger than her. Today they went out into the back garden while I cleaned and she was like a chaperone, chatting away at them and rounding them up. This evening she chivvied them all to bed. Bless she's found her calling. Is this normal behaviour, the growers are 8 weeks ?

I think, given time, she will make an excellent Mum

 

It sounds to me like she has strong maternal instincts - see how she goes next time she appears broody
