I'm new to this thread and have a question......I have one hen with a chick that hatched a week ago in a small nursery coop. I have another broody hen in another coop sitting on 4 eggs which if viable should hatch in a week. I want to raise the chicks together because I only have the one nursery coop. As the new chicks hatch, should I move them in with the other hen and chick at nighttime and let the one hen raise them all? Or can I let the two hens raise their separate clutches together?
