I know there are lots of posts on this subject but what I am trying to figure out is how should I handle the hens. I have 7 Buff Os. There is one or now two brooding all the time. I kick them off the nest to collect the eggs. All winter I would get the hen off the nest and put her on the roost with the rest of the birds for the night (to keep warm). That gets old quickly. Should I just let them stay on the nest, taking the eggs, until they stop brooding?
