Hey, @MGG, I like your new profile!

Thank you, Anne!!!

I'm sorry.
If you have the NR, why don't you just move the eggs to it? I would.

Yeah your right I probably should. I have those quail eggs coming soon and I got it for that but I keep expecting it to come anyway now so have been putting off moving them. I will add some water to it and move the eggs over when I candle tonight.

That's good. Make sure you test run it for a few hours, and check it with a calibrated thermometer.

Tonight marks the start of day 14 for the two eggs. Air sacs look normal, they are both moving and kicking well, and they both look to be developing at about the same speed!

My Brahma/Barred Rock, Fudge, made the decision to go broody! After a lot of begging, my dad gave in, and she is sitting on 9 eggs right now. Three of my Leghorn's eggs, an egg from one of my EEs, two eggs from my Dixie Rainbows, and three dark brown eggs that I are either from my ISA Browns, my Amberlinks or both. I'll get you guys some pictures of her setup soon.
@SulkyBantam, here you go!

Anyone have ideas for me on how to get my new broody girl to stop being broody. My girls are 9 months and we’re laying very well until this one decided to take over the “favorite” nesting box. There are 3 others but the other girls seem to only want the one she occupies. I remove ALL eggs daily.

I moved mine to a separate chicken tractor and accidentally broke her . Maybe try separating her without eggs for a bit and see what she does.

My Ivy had the nastiest poop ever today.

Spoiler: The massive poop. 🤣
