Anyone else feel guilty when....

You have a poor hen trying to go broody and you get the eggs out from under her?

Sad thing is that I want her to hatch some - but not until spring... but I feel bad when she's trying. Now she is trying to hatch the golfball lol

Yep. I felt guilty because I had to move my wyandotte's nest full of eggs because she had snuck outside the run to lay them and I finally got the run covered good so they can't get out anymore but she snuck out and I found the nest. I put it in the coop but she acted like she didn't recognize them there. She got out again (pushed her way between my legs at the gate) and ran straight to where her old nest was and looked and looked for her eggs. She even squawked real loud a few times like "what the heck? I know I left them right here!"

lol I just let them go broody and hatch them out. I have never taken any away.

I had one go broody a little while ago, tried to take the eggs away and she went nuts! squaking and carrying on, so I put some fake eggs under her and she was a happy as can be!
