I had a Mille Fleur hen who laid her eggs outside of the coop and was sitting!! (we were collecting her eggs, not knowing she was "broody"!
We have bobcats, and every kind of predator. I tried moving her at night.....into the coop; and I even stayed with her for 4 hours; and she was flinging herself at the fence, leaving her eggs! I had no choice but to put them back. Every morning I woke up expecting to find mayhem.
She hatched them all (she was well camouflaged.....) and then took them back into the coop! WHEW!!!
