One of my turkens, Mandi, decided to join my newest broody, Ellie Mae, on the nest. My SD#1 came out to the coop to help me prepare for moving Ellie Mae to her own broody box.
An egg fight ensued between Ellie and Mandi over the eggs that were in the box.
We were rolling with laughter watching them fight over them. Mandi would reach under Ellie with her beak and scoot an egg out. Ellie would squawk and steal the egg back. They fought like that for a good 20 minutes or so.
I finally put my brave on and grabbed Ellie and moved her to her new housing for the next 21 days.
Now all I have to do is hope that Mandi just wants to sleep in a nestbox tonight and is not going the B word.
