2 Broodies Free Ranging

[Ellie]

I have two broodies (just read the thread about 13.. wow) and they are side by side in their nests. That part is fine.

My question is, when I put them out with their chicks to free range, how will they do if they go at the same time? They will have different pens at that time with their chicks for privacy and safety. They do go out with the babies though and return.

Any experience out there?

Thanks.

Both mama's will protect the babies and taken them back when the time is right. Don't worry!!!!

Awesome! That is what I hoped would happen. I have had broodies, but only one at a time.

I was thinking that they could fight with one another... hey, wonder if they talk to each other while in their nests all day side by side , lol.
