Thank you very much the info was useful . I made the day bed my self i have 6 of them if i was in the usa id give u 1 but its a pain i have to keep moving it so i can clean up their poop im gonna put longer peices of wood and push it to the walls so its easier cleaning i used aluminium and metal solder very strong doesnt rust with the humid and poop like other metalsLeaving your eggs in the corner nest hoping for a broody will likely result in broken eggs, rotting eggs or egg eating.
Better to gather your eggs daily and put fake eggs or golf balls in. When you have a broody, and you will know it when you do.
Start saving your eggs that you want to hatch in an egg carton pointy end down, in a cool place. Not in the fridge and do not wash them.
You can save eggs for a week with out loosing hatchability.
I have a old rabbit hutch i put my broodys in. Its a quiet safe place for her to hatch her eggs.
if you leave your broody with the others there are all kinds of problems you may encounter.
Hens bothering her and disrupting her to the point she will give up.
Other hens laying fresh eggs under her leading to Staggered hatch.
Broken eggs. Half hatched, what a mess.
Fertility will not be a problem for you. With your 3 roosters, if you do this right ill bet you get 100% hatchability.
Good luck!
PS. I like that day bed you are using for a roost. I would buy that from you!
