It never fails...

Those silkies... Every time I break one being broody, another one is on the nest within a week. Three days ago, I finally stopped the last one after her eggs didn't hatch, and today, I found another one sitting on a nest. I can't let them set, because eggs from my flock never hatch, and it would be dangerous to ship eggs for them this time of year. But still... Do they ever stop?!?!

 

[I have WHAT in my yard?]

If you take the eggs every day or even clear them several times a day it should help. I am struggling to get mine to go broody!!

I do that, and then they end up sitting on the hay!!!
