I have two broody buff orpingtons and I want to set them on about 12 eggs from My other hens. but when I go to separate them out into the new broody hutch they freak out and stop sitting on the eggs. neither of these hens have hatched out chicks before and don't know that being separated out is the only way they can hatch out the eggs without having to fight with the other hens and not have the eggs broken while they are fighting.
any advice on acclimating them to there new home so I can set some eggs would be very much appreciated
