I mean, if eggs never get a chance to collect in a box, cuz it is a roll-away type, how can i expect a b o hen to go broody?
One may suggest, "Oh just keep one regular nest box around and hope like heck that the bird you want to go broody uses it."
Well, if i did that, who knows if she will use it at all; PLUS others may become egg eaters, OR they may lose the habit of laying in the 'less comfy' rollaways.
I suppose i could separate her with another b o and try to get her to go broody (without becoming an egg eater in the process) by keeping only a regular nest box in that coop..............
I'm sorry i am having some trouble expressing my question..............
But again, i use rollaways (or WILL), and i keep all birds in the SAME coop, so how can i expect to get a broody--anyone been there done that??
