We have an Australorp pullet possibly going broody. She opted to sleep in the nesting box last night, and hasn't moved off it today. She was hatched on 31 July 2023. And she started laying eggs in possibly, November. So, my questions:
- Is she possibly going broody at such a young age?
- If she is going broody, should we separate her from the other birds (we have 37)?
- She is nesting in a top box of a two layer nesting box. It's about 2 feet off the ground. Should we move her to a lower box so the chicks don't fall out. Assuming she's broody, of course.
- I'm sure there are other questions I don't even know to ask, so anything else I should be concerned about?
