I have a maran the went broody a couple weeks ago...... decided to get a few fertilized eggs to give her to hatch . It's been about 6 days she gets up quite often... Not sure she's committee to do this or maybe she's just not a good broody ? Should I wait it out til the weekend and candle to see if she's doing the job or cut my loses now and take away the eggs try and break her broodiness.. She clucks and puffs and sits most of the day ..but she gets off the nest more often than I think she should....it's her 1st time being broody
Thanks
 
I've seen her off the nest today maybe 3 times no longer than 30-45 minutes at a time?? My last broody didn't budge off at all..... at least I when I was watching :) just different this time I guess
Hope It will work out ..I'll know in about 15 days lol!!
 
Nope I'm willing to let her do her thing ..... I won't loose a thing... only gain a few cute chicks.. Maybe this time a couple females !!!
