I have a BO that is 8 months old, and noticed she is fluffing and clucking like she is going broody. I have eggs for her to hatch from a friend (I have no rooster) but am having an issue with the nest boxes. All 6 hens use the same nest box. I have 3, but apparently it has the best... something or other. Once she is settled, can I move her to a different box?
The two nest boxes they don't use are 2-3 inches off the ground, while the favorite is about 18. I'm wondering if I should put the one on the lower tier and two on the second. Do you think that will work? I also thought about putting the crate on cinder blocks to raise it up.
