Our broody hen has successfully hatched out a chick today. She is in one of the 2 nesting boxes we have for 7 hens. Our other hens are always picky about where they lay eggs and a lot of them try to push our broody out to lay in her nesting box. Since her chick is out now, I’m afraid the other hens might hurt the chick whenever the mom is out drinking water or even when she’s with it inside. Should I move her and the chick in a cardboard box? Or will the mother hen be mad about this? We don’t have any other coops, cages, or shelters.
