Broody stealing eggs from another broodies box.

I know what you are thinking...this happens all the time. Sure, if they are sharing a box. I have no idea how she is getting the eggs into the next with her, they were in the other side. The two banties are sharing a hatch, and the black Australorp is the egg stealer.

I have seen the roll the eggs up under there chin so to speak and move them that way.

Are you sure she isn't laying them herself?

I thought the first time it was one of my new babies that laid an egg. The eggs I gave them to hatch are a marans pullet eggs. So I am sure.

Mark their original eggs and check their nest freqently. If you see any un-marked eggs, add them to your egg basket!
