My hen has gone broody on 2 fertile eggs.They should hatch on Sept 14th.I know there won't be room in the nest box for me to put feed and water(with small rocks for safety).If they do hatch how do I let her care for them and keep them warm?There is enough room to put her and chicks under the nest box so they can take care of their needs.Or should I try to put her in a kennel and keep them isolated for a few days.I'm in Iowa and the nights are cool.I have candled the eggs and so far they look good.Thanks,Michelle
