I have a broody Partridge Rock. Just realized it this week. I don't believe she initially was even sitting on any eggs, so I began giving her some every day. She's in on3 the the nesting boxes about 3 ft. high. I have 3 boxes and 9 layers so I guess she could just stay where she is right? So far I don't notice anyone picking on her for being there. I've been reading that some folks move their broodies to a dog crate or other arrangement. My nesting boxes have about a 4" ledge across the front. If she manages to hatch some peeps, how will they get out and it they do and fall to the floor, it's a 3ft long fall? Should I move her? What makes a good brooder arrangement?
