Excellent advice from @Mrs. K on juggling the separation for egg gathering!
Might even put the cockbird in with them the first couple days to ensure fertility.
Do you have a good set up to do this?
The only possible problem could be 'separation stress' suppressing their production,
so it may take some time(a few extra days) for them to be cool with being separated from the flock.
