I had a cock that was always on nest regardless of what time of day I went in, so im assuming he was only one sitting, was very surprised when one egg hatched

Sounds like she wouldn, t need much motivation for racing then.

Thinking very much the same myself, she is definately keen on her eggs which would give her a good incentive when racing

I have had both a hen and a cock be "single sitters" a few years apart ,not related , and both done a great job . noted for both (it was the first nest)
