My leghorns were jumping on my Sapphire gems head the first day and ran her off the nest once.Next day I moved the nest box to the other side of the room and closed the screen door (so the flock could see and hear her but couldn't disturb her) I used a tarp to darken the room, gave her some eggs, a feeder and waterer and she stayed there until they hatched with the door closed.I opened the door after they hatched and she was reintegrated into the flock along with the chicksNow she’s on and off of the nest? She goes on for a sec,
Yay!!!
How did she do the other times?Here’s a picture, there’s only 3 eggs she isn’t on. No puffing up or barking.
She just sat on 2 eggs and stayed for a month, we didn’t have a roo then so we weren’t worried and didn’t bother her. We feed their eggs to the strays in our neighborhood so they leave our chickens aloneHow did she do the other times?
