The one time I had a broody hen, it didn't put the others off laying, but I do have several places they can lay if desperate. (they all like one the same place really).

Simon Kings webby has the Tawny Owls, amongst other cams.
Sure I read somewhere that the tits need 1000's of caterpillars to bring up a brood, good luck to them :)
