He was rehomed before the girls even started laying ;)

We have no rooster so letting her sit wouldn't do us any good, lol

We have no rooster so her brooding serves no purpose as I can see.

Thank you for that info. Have you had any go broody? I closed of her favorite nest box this morning. Hoping that will help and I don't find her in the next one, lol

Yes, they have yellow legs and white earlobes.

Here are the eggs, and closer look at the offender and the other one (in the outside run) that came to us a Buff Leghorns.

Thank you! They have one of the Brinsea EcoGlow heaters, so they all dove under that, lol. Poor babies ♥
