ARGGGGGGGGH banties and Muscovy broody...........errrrrrrrr

[okiechick57]

Ok so I have had both of Haleyluna's Japanese banty hens go broody.......I let them both.....had finally got them both setting on the correct eggs...........NOW my one Muscovy decides to set ! ARGHHH,.,I moved the eggs........ her.......a few times.......so now she is setting with and on top of my poor little banty.........
Is there ANYTHING I can do beside separating them totally....I do not have the means to do that at this point in time........I will be moving me and my critters in a couple of weeks....the banty hens should be hatching by then........I dont want to worry bout ruining the Muscovies hatch so I want her to stop...........
any help will be appreciated !

Well leave me with no answer for a minute and WAAAAAALAAAAAAAAAA I can bring one banty in with her eggs inside. In a dog carrier? how does that sound? I think that will work and save her from being smooshed by Dilly the Muscovy !

Bring her in thats what I would do.
I had a hen set and hatch eggs in a pet carrier.
Best of luck
