Broody

[justaboy]

I finally have a broody! But she has a couple of eggs under her and it’s not gonna be my full clutch for her but I don’t wanna risk breaking her. What should I do?

Just take them away and put a few golf balls or fake eggs in their place. A persistent broody will sit on an empty nest just fine. Once you have all your eggs you want to give her be sure to mark them and check daily to remove any extra eggs that find their way under the broody.
