Gammas Bearded Babies
Crossing the Road
Go out to find Vanilli nowhere in run...look inside pre-fab coop and there she is puffed up in nest box.
She didn't peck me but definitely was not budging. From all I've read you have to keep them eating/drinking. So I moved the nest basket to the outside of pre-fab coop and placed food n water nearby. She still didn't move even with me moving basket - she just grumbled at me as she stayed perfectly still inside basket.
I have 9 other eggs that just went on lockdown in incubator so should hatch in day or two.
So my questions are:

So my questions are:
- This is her first broody...she is 7 months old and been laying over a month. Will she adopt these 9 in incubator and raise them if I leave her be?
- Should I take the eggs away from her since she's so young?
