I am 99.99% sure my Buff Orpington is broody, but is she? She has been in the nesting box all day, and when I open it, she gives me ''The Look.'' She sort of has her wings spread out to the sides, as if to cover as mch space as possible. Whenever I reach in there, she ruffles up her feathers and does the mommy squak. Only problem is, she isn't actually laying!!
Grrrrrrrrrr...... Anyway, does anyone think she is broody? And if she is, should I put a not-fertalized egg under her to help keep her broody unil I buy hatching eggs? My roo Isn' really getting the job done.......
