This is nuts.

Not that you decided to start with "Balut" eggs and then move on to quail.

I just read this entire thread.

Well, most of it. WOW

I hatched some horse eggs back a few thousand pages too!

Hi everyone!
I am not sure what is up with my Leghorn hen. I will post a thread in the emergency/diseases/cures thread in a few.
I watched this hen (pretty sure it was this one but I have 3 and two are almost identical) lay this morning. She was in the nest box real early; 7:30. She finally dropped an egg at 11:30 after over 10 minutes of intense straining/screaming. For the next two minutes she kept straining. When I caught her and checked her belly, it was firm but I'm not sure what is normal. I didn't feel a stuck egg or fluid in her abdomen.

Fast forward to twenty minutes ago and I find her in the nest box again on 4 eggs. She gets out when she sees me (super flighty). She takes a dust bath in damp soil for about ten minutes then returns to the nest box. I kick her out, she hangs around tossing shavings and feathers over her back with her beak (why?). Then she jumps back in the nest box, fluffs up and settles down on the eggs and goes to sleep. In midday. Is she broody or is something wrong? She keeps giving the other hens the stink eye and only wants the nesting box with eggs.

Throwing shavings on her back (plus the other things) sounds like broodiness to me.

Why do they throw shavings on their back? She literally would pick up one piece at a time and toss it on her back. Had me rotfl
