I have 2 hens now that are broody sitting on the same nest. Anyone else ever experienced this?

Yes, in fact 4 of my hens take 'shifts' on the clutch.

wow, I thought I was in trouble. seems logical that 2 hens on the same next would break some eggs. I guess they know what they are doing...

you may end up with some broken, that's a chance we take. I was going move some of the eggs to make 2 nests but I decided to let the girls continue with the system they have. They are all getting along so far. Good luck!!
