My cochin hen has been stockpiling eggs in my chicken coop for a while and now she has 10 eggs. If she walks up to her box, she will act like she wants nothing to do with them. However, if I show her the eggs or put them near her, she will clutch them under her in a neat group and then just leave them there. Does she want to brood the eggs but wants more eggs? Or is it a cochin's natural instinct to protect the eggs because I know they are very maternal birds. She has never had chicks before and started laying about 2-3 months ago... Will she brood the eggs?
