I don't know if they are good mothers, you'll have to wait and see!

It's funny, you mentioned the moving eggs. I have buckets in the coop. They stand upright, the bottom filled with stones for stability and then lots of dried grass. I had a broody hen sitting on eggs in one of the buckets and more than once I found either a decoy egg that I left in the next bucket under her or one of hers in the next bucket. I'm seriously puzzled by this. I cannot think how on earth the hens managed to move the eggs out of the buckets and into the next one over without breaking them! The buckets are quite deep and there's it's about 17 inches from the nesting material to the top of the buckets!

I don’t know how late this is, but I just watched my broody hen pick up an egg in her f*cking beak and place it under her. Literally, like a dog picks up a tennis ball. I didn’t even know they can open their mouth that wide!!!
