In the Brooder
Should I move a broody hen and the eggs if they’re on the coop floor which is dirt? Despite having lovely nesting boxes, many of my girls prefer laying on the dirt. I missed gathering eggs for a few days and a hen who has never been broody is now sitting on a clutch. I was thinking of filling a shallow crate with shavings, putting the eggs and hen in it in the same spot. Good or bad idea? Thanks!
