I have a broody hen that is sitting on 7 eggs (she started getting broody the other day) we have a rooster, so they are probably all fertile, however I also have 8 5week old chicks in a brooder box in the garage right now that we will be adding to the flock soon (we are getting a second coop next week to move them outside) My question is what should I do with my broody hen and her 7 eggs? Leave her in with the flock, move her and eggs to the second pen/coop (with the 5 week old chicks?), or build a third coop/pen just for her? This is my first time letting a hen hatch eggs.
She is an Australorp if that’s important
