I had a hen that was hiding her eggs in the black poop catch box below the roost. I moved them into a nest box. Right this minute she's sitting in the next box, presumably to lay another egg. She's not acting broody; you know, all puffed up like she's looking for a fight.
Am I wasting eggs letting her just lay, or do hens not act broody when they're getting ready to start setting?
Also, if she sits on the eggs a lot of time, would they not start the "hatch" process ahead of eggs that she'll lay later?
