@Papa-Pepper, before you move a hen from one clutch of eggs to another, please research broody hens. It is my understanding that when a hen goes broody (meaning ready to sit on eggs to hatch them) she stays on the nest with little to no food and water. Apparently they loose body weight during this time. I'm certainly no chicken expert, infact I don't have a single chicken, but I have raised other kinds of birds and know that the mothers often need a rest between clutches. Just saying.

These ones come off and feed and drink periodically. We also supply them with closer food and water.
Good idea though, research is always smart! Thanks.
