Thanks for the advice Greybear and poultryand bees!! Sorry, I'm a bit behind on getting on here.
I had my second chick hatch!!! Yay! I stapled chicken wire in front of the nesting box for now. Should I put the 2 broodies in a pet carrier or the momma, her chick and eggs? I will have to bring them back in the coop at night because we have raccoons that get into very small holes.
The 2 broodies in the corner have been sitting on eggs for at least 40 days. What should I do? Get rid of the eggs or let them be? I would like to break their broodiness since they are the ones that killed the first chick and nothing is happening with their eggs.
