    broody hen not eating or drinking - is this OK?

    Hi, I am new to this and expecting chicks to hatch on Sunday. I was able to move 2 of by broody mamas because each day when they got off their nest, immediately another hen would jump in and steal their eggs and they would go climb into another nest. Now after moving to a new separate pen and...
