Just got a new roo. I know most my hens havent reached maturity yet. But the new roo keeps trying to mate my broody hen who has 7 days left till hatch date. Gets in the box with her. I know if its not careful he could break eggs. Im more concerned she keeps getting off eggs. She goes back. I grabbed him up and put him near the hen I got him for. Has anyone had experience with this?
 
This is one of the reasons why I separate broodys from the flock. My hens and my roos are not at all very nice to my broodys for some reason.

And so she just doesn't have to put up with all of the interruptions.
