I have a broody silkie, just over a year old. I want her to hatch out some chicks but she keeps getting off of her nest. It happens randomly. Like, she’ll be doing super good and staying on all day, and then she’ll get off for three hours or overnight. I cracked open a few of the eggs she’s been sitting on after candling them and of the three I cracked open they all have streaks of blood on the yolk but no vein growth. That or blobs of random blood.
I was wondering if anyone has any advice on keeping her on the nest? I’m planning on taking all of her eggs tonight since she’s sitting on duds and slipping in some golf balls until I know what to do.
