Hi. I have 3 broody hens right now and one of them have raised chicks before so I know she is a good mom. She is sitting on 8 eggs in a different coop (the good mom). Two other hens are broody and one won't go back to her eggs and they get cold. She will sit on air all day. We took her eggs away cause they were going bad and she was the first to go broody. So my question is can I throw a egg almost about to hatch under the broody who moves too much? Has anyone done this before. I am planning on letting the hens raise the chicks in the coop with everyone.
Thanks. Let me know if you have questions.
