I have a broody hen that has successfully hatched not one (4/4 hatched) but two(2/2 hatched) clutches since the first of the year. I have tried to make her leave the nest but she will not...she seems very healthy and has not lost any weight.
I aquired several turkey eggs today and I want her to set on them...my question is what signs do I look for that she is spent? She’s SUPER protective of the eggs so I’m thinking she’s still capable of the task..?
