Hi everyone,
I have a young comet maybe 30 weeks old nesting in the storage area under the porch at night. She pecked at me last night when I put eggs beside her. This morning she was in the yard and up by the coop when I got home from work. She is spending the days off the nest so I removed all but 1 egg and she returns at night. I am not sure if she is just thinking about going broody or just sleeping there at night. I also dont know if I should move her back to the coop and try to break the habit since it is starting to get cold here in West Virginia or just leave her be and give her eggs if she goes broody. What should I do?
