LOL welcome to the hatch! We all are going to have fun

I've got approx 20 of my speckled sussexes' eggs, and about 4 that would be a sussex-campine cross, that should hatch May 1 unless of course it's all a miserable failure as I've never hatched eggs before and it's a homemade incubator

I have some set that are due on the 2nd. 6 Edward pheasant eggs and some araucana eggs from my white and mixed pens. I'm hoping for more blue and splash babies like everyone is getting from me.

Good luck everyone!

Question...

Right now my banty girl is happily sitting away on her 6 eggs... the other girls seem protective of her when I get nearby (she gets crabby and starts chicken cussing me if she thinks I'm taking any eggs out from under her). For now, all is right with the world, but if she successfully hatches any of these eggs am I most definitely and absolutely going to have to rehome banty girl and her babies to somewhere more safe or will they be ok with the other 4 girls?

If rehoming is necessary.. here is my thought process:
I'm pushing DH to build me a quarentine coop for sickies or brooders. I'm hoping he'll do it before this weekend because I planned on getting some new hens.

Two weeks is the quarentine away from the existing coop time (if I'm not mistaken)... so that'll put me real close to hatching day (approx. 5/2 or 5/3). I would definitely clean out the coop with a water part bleach solution before moving momma and babies, but would that cause any problems moving them?

As always, thanks for your thoughts and humble opinions!
