Broodying

[gottalovemychickens]

I know i have heard people talk about this but ....

.... I cant remember if its ok for a chicken to brood or not ???

.... I heard that , that can teach them to eat their eggs also

.... What do i do , just let her brood or take the egg out ???

.... Right now she is brooding and when i go near her she will move but run right back to that spot

If she is moving off the nest on her own she is not brooding. She may be thinking about it, but its has not kicked in full brood yet.

Don't know answers to a lot of your questions but I think you should let her brood. She's really attached to those eggs. Of course, if they're not fertile, you should remove them as they could go rotten.
