I hope the move did not break both of my broodys! :(

Ok, so I moved my broodys to their new coop, but I really hope I didn't break them!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Well anyway it worked,but they are broody in the same box sharing the eggs........ Is that OK or should I separate them and put one in the other nest box with her eggs?

IMO I would separate them it seems like they would be more happy when the chicks hatch I broke one of mine in the move i was kinda glad though I really didn't have the room lol!

Well funny story we didn't have room for 2 broody hens in our coop so we bought a cheep hen house that holds three hens at Murdochs! LOL! But anyway I should put them in separate nest boxes!
Thank you!

Good idea! If you have any other questions feel free to ask 'em!

Sorry one more question how should I move it out of that nest box and into the other nest box considering the nest boxs are right next to each other?

 

[amillecay]

Hmm moving broodies can be hard!
Did you find that one of them was easier to move than the other? (some of them are). Firstly move them at night if you can it all works better because they then wake up and think seem to think that's where they were the whole time. You shouldn't have TOO hard of a time because they are close, I have heard that when you move them make sure you don't let their legs dangle to much and try to make it fast but not shake them up too much

Ya there is one that is easier to move than another so I will move her, Thank you!

 

[amillecay]

Sure! glad to help

When we moved her last night to the other nest box during the night she rolled the eggs back to the other nest with the other chicken..... LOL! What should I do about that?
