I have a hen that went to sitting. She ended up with 8 eggs under her within a five day period. I just left her alone. I have read a lot that says she should be seperate from the flock( my flock is around 30 chicken total- 10 weeks to full grown)
Her first egg hatched yesterday. Should I leave her alone and assume she will protect them or move her now. If I move her should I wait for all the eggs to hatch first?? Not sure what to do. Oh and I would have to build an enclosure for her if I decide to seperate. Thanks for any help.
