My Dot's gone broody for sure - sitting on golf balls and acting like a velociraptor making funny noises and puffing up her feathers. I don't have any eggs to put under her, I guess I can use a bunch laid tomorrow and let her hatch them out. I collect our eggs each day and refridgerate them - My Roo ensures they are all fertile. (Gosh he loves his work!) I can just let her have some eggs and not fridge them.
So Now what do I do?
Do I need to seperate her from the Flock - she acts horrible to the other pullets and hogs the favorite nest. I want to be sure she gets food and water - she really doesn't want to leave the nest.
This is still my first year and I don't have a clue what to do.
Other option: The feed store has some new chicks - should I get her a couple and put them under her at night? Would she guard them from the other chickens?
Wringing my hands with excitment!
