I tried moving the eggs. No success there. I did remove a barrier between 2 nesting boxes to give her food and water close by. On hatching day, I used a chicken wire door to keep the other hens out. On day 2, I moved mom and chicks to the back half of the coop and shut them off from the other hens. They are 2 weeks old now and she has them outside as often as I let her. I'll probably let her be outside at free will this weekend. The babies are so small and I'm trying to limit any predators access to them!
