My hen sat on eggs until I candled them and they weren't going to hatch so I threw them away and put her in a pen with the peacock. She managed to escape from it and I found her sharing my chicken's nest with my Brahma hen. I don't know what to do. Let her remain with the brahma until the chicks hatch? Give her a few peacock eggs? Try putting her back with the peacock? If I give her eggs and she accepts them, is she likely to stay on them until they hatch? Help!
Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
