two broody chickens.... advice needed please!!!

[they'reHISchickens]

DD had this same problem, and it got worse! She has cochin bantams and when the THIRD one went broody she had musical mamas with eggs at different stages. Then the first batch hatched and another mama abandoned her nest to take care of those chicks. It was a mess!!
Solution? We finally put each broody in it's own cat box. out of sight/out of mind. These hens are really not too bright, especially under hormonal influence. I would put each of yours in it's own box/cave/whatever so it can concentrate on her own eggs however many or few you want to give her.
Once they all hatched, everyone was co-parenting but getting the hatches accomplished was tricky. I'd separate!

Hiya well I seperated the hens one is in a brooder with a run, the other is in the nest box in the coop.... I have not got any fertile eggs as of yet, just going to get some now as
I wanted to make sure the move would not put her off sitting.. which appears not to have ..... yey....

Fingers crossed she wont stop sitting half way through as this would be her first time hatching or even going broody... incubator will be on standby just in case

Thanks for everyones input it is much appreciated..... will keep you informed how it all goes, as the first 4 eggs are due to hatch on the 20th of this month.. im so excited
