I don't have roos, so don't know about fertile eggs, but you definitely have a broody on your hands! Congratulations!

I only have hens, but my BO (Hedwig) is absolutely determined to hatch out the golf balls in her nest. Lil stinker

i know she is broody but i dont know if i should let her sit on the eggs if there is no chance they are fertile.

Hi, Yes she is broody again.

I don't think your teenage boys will be old enough to have fertilised any eggs for her yet, though.

I would buy or beg some fertile eggs and let her have ones that will hatch,

Good luck,

Sandie
