AWOL hen

[aart]

Great point Aart! Yes I think we shall!! TY

Hope it works, not sure if you actually want a broody...
..and I'm assuming those eggs she has in the bush are not fertile?

No sir! No roo here in over 2 months. And yes, I am kind of excited to watch a broody do her thing like nature intended!

Are you getting chicks? Because if the eggs are not fertile, she will be stressing herself for no hatch. If you are not getting chicks, you should break the broody.

So glad she's still around. It sounds like she picked a great spot to hide out! Hopefully you can catch and confine her.

I can’t believe she has stayed safe! We have friends who run their dogs in our area from time to time and this last late winter got a cuyote in our back woods! But she doesn’t look much worse for wear each couple days when she pops out to munch and drink and still takes hand fed treats We now know her exact spot but it is so dense under that brush pile not even my scrawniest most agile son has gotten all the way in yet The other two broodies got the eggs from my friend so they can have live babies and now two of my silly ducks are sharing my broody duck’s nest. So crazy to see these girls cuddled up on one clutch. How the heck is that gonna work at hatch?! Stressing me out!
