I have a 6 month old Buff Orpington that seems to be broody. She started this about 5 days ago. She puffs up and growls and as far as I can tell has not left the nest. Yesterday, hubby said he lifted her off the nest and set her on the floor and there was only one egg under her after five days of broody behavior. He said he went back out 20 minutes later, and she was still on the floor where he had set her and he put her back on the nest. I thought they laid an egg every day when they went broody, but after five days there is only one egg. How can I tell if she is broody or if something else is wrong? They have only been laying eggs for about 3 months.
Also, how long does it take for eggs to hatch?
