My hands first check fell out of the brooding box onto the floor. The mother followed it and left the eggs. There was lots of straw under the box, but she chose to find a corner of chicken poop to take her baby to sit on. I was afraid to pick up the hen so I put her eggs around her and she put them under her, but I’m worried because she is sitting in a pile of poop with her one life baby for sure…. Should I go ahead and move the whole project even though it ruffles her feathers?
 
I have a big rooster in my pen so I moved my body hen and her one chick but one hatched as we moved her and the mama didn’t except it but has hatched and excepted four more so I would move the mama as long as there are no eggs hatching that moment
