After reading posts on broodiness, I am certain that is what my #3 Australorp is doing. However, I have gone a few days in a row now without ANY eggs, from any of my girls. Why are the other two not laying either?
#3 barely eats. I have taken her out a couple times a day to make sure she gets some food and water. I've even tried enticing her with her favorite: apples, but she takes only one or two small pieces from my hand. I'm beginning to worry now if she's broody as well as sick.
About the cage thing, I'm not quite sure how to manage that, but I will read on for more information. Next question is how to encourage the other two to get back to work while the one is in the time-out cage?
