I have a year old Muscovy hen who has layed her first dozen eggs in a clutch in the nesting box, but since she layed that 12th egg she keeps rolling several of them out of the nesting box. Is this normal for the hens to roll their eggs around before going broody?! She is protective of the eggs even though they aren’t in the nesting box anymore, but they aren’t in a nest at all. My other hen also did this with her clutch of 17 only nesting on 9 at the end of all her rolling them around. Should I keep moving them back into the nesting box?!
