So one of my Buff Orpington hens just went broody for the first time and is sitting on 3-4 eggs. I have never had a a broody hen before or hatcherd eggs. I think I want to let her hatch them. But do I need to move her nest box to a different area/make her a seperate coop??? Should I wait till the chicks are hatched to do that??? I don't want the other chickens to pick on the babies. How do I feed the babies starter but keep the mom on her layer feed???
