So you've tried moving them before?

No, i didnt try movibg them. They only stay on unfertilized eggs for 3 days.

If they get off after three days for more than just a break to eat/drink then they aren't committed enough to raise chicks.

Broodies can be really unpredictable. She may do better next time.

I'm sorry it didn't work out! Hopefully you'll have another chance to have baby chicks soon
