Broody momma has been sitting for several weeks. We marked the 4 eggs she seemed so intent on, just to see... WELL, this morning we found one chick and another of the eggs is cheeping. Didn't hang around to check the other 2 eggs because momma seemed agitated.
We had planned to move momma from the community coop and run to her own private condo before now, but never got around to it. Will the other hens and the rooster hurt the chicks if we leave them? or Should we move them? The coop they are in is raised off the ground about 2 feet. I'm worried about them getting in and out of the coop.
If we do move them now will momma abandon them?
PS, we are expecting major storms here this afternoon so what ever I do has to be done SOON!
