Is this even possible? My broody hen of almost 2 weeks got up this morning and has not returned to her nest!!! It is now almost 3:00, did she just quit? I have been watching for hours and another hen has been sitting on those eggs now for about 3 hours- she didn't appear broody until now. At first I suspected she was just laying an egg while the Momma was up, but I keep opening the nest box and she is just sitting in it, laying on those eggs!
I have the eggs marked, so I can remove the extras.
Any ideas? Has anyone else seen this happen?
TIA!!
