I have three broodies that i want to seperate from the rest of the flock. I took them out of the main coop and put them into one of my new small breeder/broody coops. I want to keep them away from the main flock so that I can set some eggs under them next week.
I got the new coop all set up with fresh bedding, food and water and transfered them into it. One of them settled right in and is as happy as can be. The other two got up and left the coop.
Any advice on how to get them to settle into their new home in time for the eggs I am expecting next week? I am assuming if I keep them in there over night they should settle in alright, but just thought I would ask for some thoughts to make it easy on them.
