Went to get eggs this afternoon and opened hatch to find the same hen in the same box as the day before. I didn't think anything of it yesterday but now I know she is broudy . What now do I take her and the eggs out of the nest box and separate them , what happens when they hatch,do they live with the flock or do I keep them separate from the other chickens.?what do I need to do for her and the chicks and what about after they hatch I'm thinking it will be much easier on me because won't she just care for them . She is a black austerlop. I thought I was done for the summer lol , never had a broudy hen before any advice would be great. Thanks Tom
