Two broody hens in same nestbox

[Debrakinsky]

I’m very new at chicken-keeping. I inherited my chickens when we bought our new home. I’ve been studying and doing my best, but am a bit stumped with this situation. One of my hens has been broody and I noticed it right away. I isolated her for a few days and it seemed to help. Now she’s doing it again, and another hen has joined her... but they are being broody in the same nest box. Should I try to isolate both of them in separate areas? It’s like one lays on top of the other, even though there are plenty of nest boxes. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Do you want them to be broody? I mean who wouldn't want a living incubator and brooder. Two hens in the same nest box probably shouldn't be a bad thing . you could separate them into different nest boxes just to see if they stay broody or not .
