I have a beautiful wheaten Ameraucana lass who, for the last 4 days, refuses to come off the nest (and runs back in if I pull her off). She hasn't picked a broody patch yet, but she certainly makes a fuss if I try to steal her eggs.
She's a new layer herself, as she's laid maybe 4-6 eggs in the last month or so.... Is it possible she's actually broody or is she just testing it out?
I'm getting ducklings next week, should I try to tempt her with this? Can chickens even raise ducklings well?
Thanks in advance!
