My Black Australorp has been sitting in the nesting box for 2 days. When a shoo her out she will go to eat but then right back in. We have no rooster, just 2 hens. Is this brooding? She started laying about 6 weeks ago and has laid an egg everyday since until now. What do I do? Her vent is not moist.
My other hen, a Buff Orpington laid an egg this morning and the Australorp sat on it. Since I know my Buff laid an egg I closed off the nesting box. Was this the right thing to do? Help!
