Hi all,
I have a broody that is sitting on three eggs in the top row of nesting boxes. She has been there for about a week. She is the first hen that I have ever had go broody. My question is: Should I leave here there until she has the chicks or move her? The nesting box is about 4 ft off the floor. So obviously when she has the chicks they can't hop up and down from there.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
