Hey there!
So I have an Olive Egger 10mths old. She has been acting fine all day and even got to eat fresh grass in the chicken tractor this afternoon. She didn’t want to lay an egg until about 6:30 tonight. She crawled in the nesting box and hasn’t moved since. I have a camera out there and have been checking up on her and she is asleep in the box while others are on their roosting bar. I’ve went out there and petted her, she let me rub all on her and I even gave her some egg shells thinking maybe if she was having trouble laying it would help with contractions… maybe. (I’m still new to this stuff). I left to come back inside and everyone is back asleep in the coop and she fell back asleep in the box. Anyway, should I go back out to try move her or just let her be for the night? Is this a sign maybe she is trying to be broody or is having problems laying or is it that the nesting bed pad is more comfy and she just doesn’t feel like laying, she just wants to be a extra (the little queen she is) and sleep in it for the night (to be hard headed). Please help! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
