I have a broody hen sitting on five eggs. It has been four days.
She is currently in a brooding bin in the coop. I saw a hen sitting on her to lay an egg in the bin. I am not sure it is OK to leave her there or make a mama house with a dog crate and put it in the run to give her own space (the coop is too small to put a crate), but I am afraid she could get upset and give up. Or should I leave her where she is and move her to the crate once the eggs hatch. I just don't know what to do since she is my first broody hen!
Any advice is appreciated!
