I live in Spain. We have 12 hens regular browns and greys. Two Cochins and a male and female Brahma. The two Cochins and Brahma have all gone broody together. A friend arrived two days ago with 15 fertile eggs from his blue and green egg layers. I wasn’t ready for them but they’re now under the girls who have setttled into the main coup which is large. They come out once a day for food and water and then promptly return to the eggs. I tried moving them to another house but they’re not having it

I would prefer to leave them all together with main flock but obviously there’s a danger with that.
I’ve never reared my own before so any guidance and advice gratefully received.
My chickens doors is open permanently, so my hens are pretty well in and out at will, as I have two dogs a Spanish Mastín and a Border collie who are working dogs and protect all my livestock at night. Never lost a hen or a goat yet.
