Bourbon Reds wanting to Set, BUT not where I want... Sigh

[LoveMyBirds]

I have 6 BR hens and last week found 2 nests. I moved them into a house for 4 days but they weren't wanting that area.

I let them out and now they are back where I found them..

What to do.., since I live in an area full of varmits..

Today I found 2 more hens laying ..

One hen I might NOT rob her nest, which is still dangerous, but it's more in my yard than up in the woods. she's in a bunch of goose berry bushes.

Then I found another nest up in the woods this morning as well. It had 7 eggs in that nest which I removed also..

I'm thinking I should build a large fenced in area for them to run in and then set.. Oh, wait a sec. that's more money....

I got my Incubator today, so most of the BR eggs are in it, plus the Royal Palm Eggs that I bought from SandsPoulty..

I left 8 slots open for my chicken eggs 7 days later..

I've always heard that turkeys are gonna set where they wanna set. The only way to change that is to pen them up.
