Chicks killed upon hatching!

[BDutch]

I had trouble with more hens going broody too. What worked best for my chickens is a seperated large laying nest with a small run. A broody hen who lives in a more natural environment searches a quiet place away from other chickens. They need to focus on the task and other chickens can be disturbing .

I like to have two broodies on a nest , but it depends on how well they get along if this is okay or not. Break al the other broodies.

There is an article about hatching by broodies on the homepage with good advices. More:

Thank you for the help! I have isolated the broody hens and removed 3 of them. I separated the 3 hens each with about 5 eggs. So far they are staying where they belong.
