I've got two broody OEGB hens that are setting a nest of 10-12 eggs (buddy-system) that REFUSE to allow me to candle them. I get eat to pieces if I try. They're due in about a week to hatch. Will my roo be a problem for the chicks? I'm making a ramp for their coop so the chicks will have an easier time getting in/out of the coop with the moms once they hatch and start moving around, it helps that it's only 1' off the ground and in an enclosed pasture, so at least the ramp won't have a steep grade to it. I'm just wondering what I'll need to do with the roo if he's going to present a problem - I'm assuming moms defend the little ones against the roo if he acts ugly - am I right?
