How does a hen know when enough is enough? I have two broodies and I really am starting to worry. I wasnt sure if they were truely broody at first, because they would go from one nest to another for a while, so I keep taking the eggs and pitching them. Now for over two weeks they have been setting on the same two nest. Ones a Black Giant Jersey and the other is an Orp. Last night the Orp stole the the Jerseys nest and the Jeresy went to the Orps nest. Today they were back on their own nests. So how long till they give up? Do they know whether there are chicks or not? I'm so confused.
