Two broody hens on one nest.

At first I wasn’t sure how about your channel, but now I’ve really grown to love it. The fact that we learn as you learn is a great idea.

Hi there. What a lovely video! I currently have 5 bantams that have all gone broody and I only have 4 nest boxes, hence finding your video. I think ill put carboard separators between them and give them a few eggs each. :)

Thank you, and good luck!

Hi mixing eggs between two moms always ends up same scenario . Stealing eggs from each other at break times and unnecessary movement of the eggs is the most causes possibly. You are doing great job. I like it.❤

[@goodlifehomestead6876]

Thank you. It's definitely a challenge. I have 2 hens sharing a nest again this year.

How wonderful!

I have too broody hens that have been together for over a month, nothing hatched, so ive collected 7 eggs from others to seperate them, but they just wanto to be together on those eggs. Should I leave them or put apart.. the seem fine to me though.

[@goodlifehomestead6876]

I'd be inclined to leave them as they will just want to keep doing what they're doing and you might end up with broken eggs otherwise. Because they have already been sitting on eggs for a month it might be better to introduce little chicks. I have successfully done this with chicks up to 5 days old. I have another video which shows how we did that the first time. The trick is to put them under the mothers at night and remove all the eggs at the same time. Good luck.
