I have an EE that loves to hide her eggs & almost starved herself to death being broody for 9 weeks last summer.
Well about two weeks ago she started flying out of the run to lay her eggs under the shed, after a few days I figured out where she was laying. Now we've got grass seed down & I really don't want her out all day while we're at work eating it.
Last night DH & I clipped her wings & I added a little more wire to the top of the run. I'm thinking now that she'll be forced to lay in the real nest again she'll probably go broody in a couple of days.
So I'm going to need a few fertile eggs
I'm thinking three. I'd love dark brown eggs & I want birds that will fit in with my current flock of seven
