Broody hens x 2, eggs hatching in main coop

Hello - I have just had a baby, and my brain obvioulsy came out when the baby did, and I miscalculated the time from placing the eggs under our broody (s). My OH was building a broody coop, but due to the horrendous weather we have, it was only finished today.

As i did the birds this morning, i heard a tweeting and saw a small hole in one of the eggs...........should I leave the broodys in the main coop, or move them now their eggs are hatching? Or move when all hatched - I have chick crumb and provision for water etc. Any advice greatly appreciated

Congratulations on the baby and chicks.
I don't know but I'd be tempted to leave them be until the eggs have hatched.

Lizza's right. Leave them until they've hatched and then move them.
