I have 6 Delaware hens, one Deleware rooster, 2 buff Orps, 2 Easter Eggers and 3 RIR. I want a couple of them to raise some new chicks. This is my first year so them sitting is new as is all of it. I have one BO and one easter egger who are broody. The Easter Egger isn't quite as serious but is getting there.
Here is my problem. After about a week to ten days they seem to move from one nest box to another. I have 4 nest boxes in total. Then I have a bunch of eggs with half developed chicks in them. And more eggs so not sure which ones are new or not. Not good. I typically give a lot of eggs away but am hesitant with the chicks in them. When I get them I just give them to the dogs, but I don't want others to have this problem Any ideas? Thanks so much!
