We have a young pullet that is 7 months old, she acts broody and will stay on the nest for a whole day at times and isn't very impressed if you try to take her eggs but she always gets off the nest like she gets bored! She's been acting strange for about 2 weeks, making a nest and I don't know if its got to do with her but all the other chickens are now laying in her nest. We have a fake egg on there but remove the real eggs because the longest she stays on is a day and we don't want to have rotten eggs everywhere, we did a keep a few there once because I read that they only set the eggs once they have a enough, there was about 7 she had under her but still didn't stay on the nest. Is she to young to go broody or does she just not know quite what to do or just acting strange?
