I have a hen that seems to have gone broody with the golfballs in the nesting box. Sooooooooo, here are my dumb questions.
1- If I remove the golfballs, will she stop?
2- By me removing her from the nest everytime I can, will this break her broodiness?
3- If I leave her to be broody, will the golfballs hatch?
4- Can I now use her (since I dont own a bator) to hatch out some of the other girls eggs? (if yes, then I have a whole other set of questions)
5- (A)If yes to # 4, should I remove all the golfballs and leave only eggs? (B) can I use the previously collected eggs that are now in the fridge?
Thanks in advance, more dumb questions to come, I'm sure.
