I have a very sweet broody hen that has been laying on her one fake egg for more than two months. Is it ok to just leave her alone? She is eating and drinking ok. I can reach in and pet her or even pick her up and put her out with the rest of the flock. She doesn't get mad and run right back. She stays out for a few minutes. Some times when she leaves her box to eat or drink, another hen leaves an egg in her box. I have four boxes and 12 hens. She will even sit in another box until hers is free. She is very content to just stay put with a real or fake egg. I can reach under her every day to see if she is hiding a real egg, she doesn't get upset at all. I pet her and talk to her and she makes very quiet little noises. She is a 7 month old black star. I would like to just let her do what she wants in life... if you know what i mean. Just don't want her doing this if it will harm her in any way. Any suggestions?
Thanks
