This is about hatching eggs so I put it here.
I have a hen settin on 6 eggs, and has been for 8 days now. My question is if I were to move here and the eggs to a dog house I've made into a brooder and stuffed it with wheat straw, would she stay there or try to go back to the coop.
My problem is the other hens don't want to lay in the coop with her in there. They've just about all started laying in the brooder during the day.
What can I do here? I really don't want them to get into a bad habit.
