Hi, I'm new to the forum this is my first Spring with chickens. I have 2 hens sitting on eggs in the egg-laying boxes of the coop...3 feet off the ground. It is day18-20 and I am realizing that I should have moved them to their own nesting area weeks ago. What to do?
1. should I move them now or is it too late?
2. The two hens appear to be friends- should I move them together with their nests or keep them seperate?
3. If I dont move them will the chicks fall out the nest box? will the rooster and other chickens harm them?
Thanks for trying to help me out of this novice predicament.
