My Black Copper Marans has gone broody. She has been sitting on a nest on the floor of the coop for about 8 days. She doesn't leave the coop because we have food and water in the coop. I have three pullets that have just started laying and they lay in a nest on the floor adjacent to her nest. A few days ago I stopped finding any eggs, but the ones being laid in the nesting boxes by my other hens that religiously use those nesting boxes. So I checked Miss Broody's nest and she's sitting on 10 eggs. She's been taking the eggs from the other girls nests and is adding them to her nest! Please help, any suggestions, advice, I don't know what to do with her. Thank you.
