I just moved eggs to lockdown and had a rotten one explode in my fingers, all over the tray and other eggs.
YUCK!
My EE hen that hatched my chicks at the end of May is broody already!! I don't want anymore chicks!! She is really hard to break. This is her third time broody and I've only had her a year!! Ugh!!
Good luck! In my experience, hens like that don't take no for an answer. My SPR Ana just let her babies go about 2 weeks ago. That's her second clutch this year. I already bet hubby that she'll be ready to brood again by the time we're home from vacation in a couple weeks lol. She won't give up if I don't give her anything either. Last time I tried that, she sat for 3 months till I gave in!
