How is it that you predicted exactly what happened lol ;)
BR snuck in in day 3, so I have a random large egg with a late due date, and a silkie had snuck one in somewhere in there, and that one got stepped on by a fat foot and was infertle anyway!
I didn't think a 5 month old hen could even GO...
Good point. I can add to it... I put a pan of food by mine and the other hens were in there bugging her and eating her food. I didn't know if she was getting up or not, since she's so young and new, but she does sneak out and get a drink and eat and a dyst bath, then goes right back. It helped...
Broody poop! I have a question on that lol... Is it supposed to look like they just ate a pound of clay? Mine left a huge pile of what literally looks like a ball of clay, full of sand... I just assumed she ate a bunch of dirt while bathing; that's pretty much all it was!?

What breed? White earlobes most likely mean she iscacwhite egg laying breed. Cochins and silkies are known to go "broody", in fact, I have a 5 month old banty Cochin that is setting right now lol... I'm not entirely sure on other breeds.
