Okay so, I have be a chicken owner for a while now and have tired to hatch some eggs but didn't do so well. But on the other hand a few days ago one of my Golden Comet Hens went broody, she started with 2 eggs and one of my other hens would lay their eggs in the same nesting box, well we stopped her with 4 eggs. Today I went to check the chickens I had fed the older chicks I had bought a while back, then the adult chickens. I did not expect to have the chicks until the 8th of August, but i looked down to see two little feather balls looking up from under their mom at me. I really didn't know what i should do, I mean i have bought 6 chicks before but I knew what do with them since they had no mother. But the thing is now that they have their mother, what should i do. I mean would it be better to but them in a space by them selves, where none of the other hens or the rooster can get to them? But she here's the catch only 2 of the eggs has hatched today, and the others had not been under her as long as they have, if I move them all would it mess the hen up sitting on the eggs? I can put them in a goat cage, since i also have goats, we first but my chickens in when i first got them while i was working on the new coop, so would that work? Any tips that ya'll can give me would be very helpful.
