My concern is that when the Cochin hatches these eggs that sje is taking excellent care of, hatch in the nest box off the ground, will the chicks fallout and hurt themselves?
Should I move her, before they hatch?
If I move her will she not take back to her nest?
How should I handle the situation, need advice?
Another of my hens went broody for the second time his year, I tried to move her back to the coop but she was too flighty, now she has her nest on the ground close to my house where I can keep and eye on her and the nest to make sure they are okay,
So I thought I would leave her, so she can take care of her own brood, any reason this would not be a good idea?
