I have two week old chicks, hatched by a broody and I've moved the little family to their own nursery. I have another broody I'm going to give a clutch to and am wondering if I can move her and her clutch to the nursery now without her harming the chicks or the moma harming her? TYIA

I wouldn't. Broodies can come into conflict very easily, which can lead to some very smashed eggs.
