Hello again to my favorite flock of all!
So, my cranky cockerels calmed down (albeit only a little) after we immobilized them. They’re still jerks though. Thanks for all of your advice.
My latest saga is my one hen has started laying eggs! Yay! First 4 were cute (little) and then they disappeared? I check every morning and evening and nothing.
So just yesterday we notice one hen was missing. We were panicky thinking a predator took her but checked cameras and nothing. It was weird. Then she just sauntered up like nothing was wrong.
To say we were puzzled was an understatement. Cut to today, she’s missing again. My Border Collies we’re sitting by my AC compressor and there she was right behind it sitting on 6 eggs!!!
Question is, we don’t want any more chicks at this time so do we just remove eggs? If yes, when is the best time? And how do I break the broody hen? Best practices.
Thank you all as always.
