There's probably answers on this subject somewhere on here, so sorry if it's repeat.
I've got 3 hens on nests, they are due any day for 2 nests and the other hen is 2 weeks behind.
They are all in the same coop.
My 1 drake and 2 other hens who aren't nesting wonder in and out and get locked in together with the mammas at night.
Should I block it off from the others?
And what about the hen 2 weeks behind, will she keep sitting?
Thanks for the help

Drakes will sometimes kill ducklings, but if he's been around that many hens nesting he is likely to be ok.... It's a chance you take. THe girls will likely try to protect the babies, but until they hatch it's hard to say. Good luck!
