My 2ish year old hen has decided to sit again this year. However, she has chosen a nesting box that is 1-2ft off the ground, and that the other hens like to use as well. Since she's lower in rank, I'm wondering if I should move her into my large brooder that I built last year for my ducks. After the chicks have hatched, she will be moved to this regardless, so I'm wondering if it's really worth it to move her now or to just wait. The chicks, if I calculated right, will be due on the 20th.
The brooder is approximately 4 or 5 feet long and about 3 feet tall. I will also provide her with outside space during the day. So what do you think..Should I move her, or just leave her be?
