Going broody? Or just protective of egg?

[The Golden Egg5]

Unsure about what you mean about falling out. However I doubt that a 100 foot fall would even phase a baby chick, little less a mere foot and a half drop.

Yea. The only problem is if one falls from the nest while she is still hatching, it could get cold and die or she would get off the nest and all the unhatched chicks would die.

Well since she's making broody clucks she's definitely going broody

At least I think she is I've never had a broody before. She's making a different sound than the rest. So I'm assuming that's what it is. I hope I'm right

Here my pretty little girl is today! I love her

She was still sleeping on the roost. Maybe I should just give up? I don't think she is broody because it is taking so long. She needs to make up her mind!

Well it's not like you can make her stop doing what she's doing just wait, again I felt the same once too she took over a week to decide.

Now I know she is not broody. I walked into the coop and she sang her egg song. In the nest was a perfect little brown egg. Oh well. I'm sure I will get another broody someday. Thank you for the help! Good luck with your mamma and chicks!

Thank you, but I still think she's broody no matter what you think one day your going to come back on this thread and say she sat in the nest during the night and I'm gonna say I told you so, just kidding I won't say that but you know.

Haha actually I'm back on board with you because she is now sitting on the nest flattened out and puffed up growling. So mabye! I'm super excited. I have 6 eggs picked out for her candled and ready to go. I just hope she sticks to it.

If she is still on the nest tonight I will put these under her.
