I have an older hen that stopped laying and went "broody". I got a dozen fertilized eggs from a friend and all is well after a couple weeks(candled them).They are in the coop(top nest) and I have been told I need to separate the hen and chicks from the other hens after they are born or the other hens will kill them. Will they fall from the nest if I don't move them lower? I have raised several groups from chicks but never with a hen.Thanks
