I have a broody Muscovy hen. She built herself a nest in one of the nesting boxes.I took her eggs away as they are not fertilized. I put some golf balls in the nest,but she knows the difference and has now been sitting in front of the nesting box.She is very vocal when I get close to her, but instead of being aggressive she is letting me pet her and pick her up. Wish she was always like that!
By taking away her eggs ( she has only been sitting on them for about a week) and replacing them with the golf balls, is this going to effect her in anyway or will she eventually forget about being broody? She does leave the nest to take a bath and eat.
