I have a hen who has been brooding for just over two weeks now, sitting on several eggs. Before, the other three hens all chose the same nest. I've isolated the broody hen/nest from the others, but still in the same location inside the hen house. The other hens are obsessed with trying to get to the same nest..still. They've left their eggs in other nests, on the floor and in the run area! No consistency at all.
Question: Will the other hens settle down to another nest or will this be an ongoing thing. When the chicks hatch, will mom hen keep the others out of her nest? I'm obviously new to this and have plenty of doubt and lots of questions.
