    Advice needed regarding broody hens.

    They free range during the day and are locked in a coop with an indoor shed that's raised off the ground. I don't know how the rat got to the eggs, must have been in the few minutes when she would hop off to eat and drink. Thank you for the suggestion to remove food. I'm not sure how to...
