broody....?

[spoolin]

i have a hen broody since Monday, and i also have 1 orpington and 2 bantams which are separated from the broody. but my orpington is going crazy, she wants to lay in the nest. but i heard it wasn't a good idea to put them together, so i have them separate. do you think i should put the orpington with the broody together in the same section? or just keep them separate?

For some reason my hens always want to lay beside the broody. But you need to keep them seperater\\d. Otherwise you have eggs that are like a week or more behind, and the broody will leave them once her chicks are born. Or she will stay on the eggs, and not give her chicks proper care.
