Hi everyone lately I've been dying to have some new chicks and as if on cue won of our hens Soci went broody. Now normally I'd be more excited, but she has been broody three times and yet she still isnt a mother.
My main issue is other hens kicking her out of the nestbox/going into the wrong nest. Its very frustrating because we sell our eggs, and missing one developed egg can have devastating consequences for Buisiness. I have tried moving her and her eggs but she is quite stubborn! However today I sucessfully moved her into a cage that I made a mock-nestbox in! Wish her luck as she has a long wait ahead.
