My chicks are finally hatching, and I'm going to move the hen & chicks to a separate area. I have 4 or 5 hatched, so either 2 or 3 eggs to (potentially) go. If they aren't hatched by tonight, would it be ok to carefully move the eggs with her or should I wait? At the moment they're in the original nesting box. I have only one other chicken, so I could lock her in the separate area for the night and wait it out and then switch them. My only concern with that is that the original nest is elevated, so I'd like to move them as soon as I can without upsetting the apple cart. What should I do?
Thanks,
Longday
