Oh wow! I keep waiting for them to go broody..... I've left eggs and tried to get them to start.... I recently done a head count about a week ago bc I knew I was missing eggs. It never added up close to the correct amount. Counted all day the chickens running and never could get to 17...right before their bed time I counted one last time and found the last one... Figured out who it was and I hadn't seen her all day.... I knew where I usually see her gazing so I walked the tall fields and found her nest. She wasn't doing any good spending all day on it and at night off of it... I guess she just started attempting to be broody but that wasn't a safe spot. I moved her to the coop and the eggs but she wanted nothing to do with them at that time... Maybe I'll let her get a new batch going...? Goodluck with your babies!

Thanks! Good luck to you as well!

Hi and welcome to BYC! We're glad you joined us!
I usually keep my girls locked up for about a week to remind them that they're supposed to lay in the nest boxes. If they free range you might have to re-train them every once in a while. Good luck!
