I had a hen sitting on the nest for 10-days without any eggs under her. I marked 11-eggs with script pen with date on it. one eggs was older, so after a 2-weeks, she kicked ti out of nest. I always petted my hen everyday when I went into the coup. Now another broody hen has joined her, and peck me when I went to pet on them. The original hen eggs or scheduled to hatch around Aug.2. I had 13-pullets I raised from bought eggs, now 14-weeks old, and they were combined last week with adults, all doing fine and getting along. I combined them early to make reday for the new hatch, along with hen. The brood pen has a private shaded outdoor covered run, with solar dusk to dawn automatic door. Brood Pen and run or separated with 1-inch chicken wire gates, and fenced, so they all can see each other.
Question:Should I take just the marked eggs, and guess which was the friendly one and separate them into my brood pen, or just wait and let nature work it out?
