The moving them part after hatching is my concern. I'm thinking I will have to do that. I just don't have another coop to house them in. The big coop houses my rooster and seven other hens and there is already a broody hen sitting on five eggs in there. So you think I should move one hen...
They have both brooded so this is not new to them. They are great moms. They are in separate nest boxes right next to each other. See attached pic. The sets of eggs should hatch within days of each other.
I made the mistake of allowing two bantam hens sit on their eggs in my small "nursery" coop. Once chicks hatch will there be a problem coexisting in the small coop or should I create a makeshift coop/area and move one of the hens and chicks. Any and all comments/suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
