We have muscovy ducks and our hen is nesting on 16 eggs. The problem is she laid them on a tarp hanging over the chicken/duck coop. She is safe up there for now but when the chicks hatch it is a 6 foot drop. How do I move her and the nest without her abandoning her eggs?
 
I just moved my Orpington hen to her hatching suite because some of the other hens were getting into her nest and an egg got chipped I picked her eggs up laid them in the shavings picked her up placed her in next to them she nestled right on them. This stall has a lattice door so no one can get in. I also put food and water in with her. She has a week left.
