One of my hens (I have three) went broody for the umpteenth time about two weeks ago. Since I don't have a rooster, I decided to go on Craigslist and find some fertile eggs for her to set on. Now two weeks later ALL THREE of my hens are broody and squeezing into the nesting box all trying to hatch the eggs.
Would it be OK to let all three of them stick around as mothers or would it be better to move two into another coop and leave just one to brood for the last few days and then play mother afterwards?
