   Im so bummed. I was excited because Pekins tend to not be very broody and my girl was doing such a good job, but then she just stopped.
   
   We had a dramatic change in the weather...it went from the mid 60's at night down to 36. Maybe that affected her? Anyone have any ideas on why she abandoned the nest?

   How far along were the eggs? Maybe none of them were fertile? W/my 1 broody chicken, she threw out all the 'bad' eggs, so just a thought that maybe all your girls eggs were bad (in-fertile, got too cold when she got off the nest, etc etc) so she gave up.
   Just a thought.
