Hi All
I have had chickens for about 5 years but have never had a rooster nor let the hens sit on eggs. This year we have our first rooster and 3 hens sitting on eggs. We got three chicks from a friend and we put them under one of the hens and she loved it. But her nesting box is about 4' up and we are afraid the chicks will fall. Can we move the hen and the eggs to a lower location and will the hen go back to sitting on the eggs? She likes the new chicks. Any thoughts
