I had two hens sitting on some eggs... a third one decided she wanted to too... so all three went back & forth between the two nesting boxes... I am guessing all this back & forth didn't help the eggs because they didn't hatch

but that's ok this was their first time... I took the eggs out & the girls then squeezed into one nesting box all together with no eggs just them

This when on for a couple of days they would come out to eat & all but then squeeze back in the lil cubby... So I decided to clean the coop
real well, I even gave the girls a nice bath... blow dry..
Well they are still playing musical cubbies. I haven't had girls stay stuck in this broody phase... it is rather cute but I need some suggestions...
Thanx Jen
 
Well, give them each their own separate nest (to prevent them from sharing) and give the poor girls some eggs

The girls were just sitting on eggs for 21 days with no chicks...
I was hoping someone would tell me how to help them.
