I have a 7 mo Orpington hen Aoifa who is insisting on sitting in an empty nest all day. She started about 7 days ago, and we took the first 3 eggs. She hasn't laid others. It is cold here (-13F to 14F) so we spent all wk removing her from the nest 3+ times a day. Is she being broody? If we leave her will she lay eggs to sit on eventually? Is she too young to brood?
I'm new here and appreciate any help, thank you.
