I came home to find no eggs in the nesting boxes! I've been getting about 10 a day, and poof! Nothing today!
I have a first time broody turkey hen that dedicated to 21 chicken eggs yesterday in a nest box about 20" off the ground. Well, I found the first missing egg by stepping on it, and then found the rest. There were 4 eggs just laying on the floor hap-hazardly right in front of her nest box! No others to be found in the coop! I'm suspecting she actually successfully rolled/carried the other eggs up into the nest, the great greedy bird!
There are no eggs spilling out from beneath her, but she's gotta run out of room sooner or later! Time to relocate this mama so she can chill out...!
