I felt bad taking away her egg.

If pairs of button quails are building nests together and burying eggs, but you don't want them to actually hatch any for the time being, do you think it's kinder to collect the eggs every day, or leave it until there are a few then take them?

Thats just a heart tugging conundrum

Well it's happened. One of my hens has gone broody and is sitting firmly on her nest. It's unbelievably cute, but I'm hoping she gets bored and gives up fairly quickly because I really don't have the space for any new chicks!
