I have a 9 month old Australorp who went broody a week ago,it snowed and I didn't get out in time to collect the eggs;so she took the opportunity to set on them. Well we were not planning on any more chicks until Feb. but since she was already on them I let her stay on them. We moved her to a make due nursery inside a large dog crate,we keep water and food fresh and near for her. My question is she only gets off the eggs every couple of days and that is because I make her if I didn't she wouldn't eat. She does drink just stretches her head to the waterer without getting up but I worry about her since she won't get off of the eggs on her own. Any suggestions or should I just keep pulling her off once a day like I have been? She is still young and I have my worries already have the bator set up and running just incase she gives up,we did slip a few serama eggs under her 2 days after her going broody. Am I being a worry wart over nothing? Sorry my first broody gal and I am fretting over her probably too much but I am worried. Thanks in advance
