Our golden Phoenix just started laying about three weeks ago. She is now broody and stealing everyone’s eggs and sitting on them. She is clearly broody since everytime we go out there to collect eggs she’s somehow sitting on half on them. My question is how do I break this habit? We don’t have a dog crate or really anywhere else we can seclude her.. no garage. Our boxes are pretty open and I’m not sure how to block them off because I want to give the other hens somehwere to lay their eggs.. Also, she sat on eggs that were laid this morning, all day. Are they still safe to eat or should I be worried in a few days I’ll crack open a growing embryo?
Ps. We do have a rooster. All of our eggs are fertilized.
