So we were clearing the poarch off, and behind stored const stuff we find a bucket of roofing nails with a broody inside!,?.? Another one. Is this unusual at this time of year? Four broodies already and they are all less than a year old. Is mother nature making up for all the predator hits we've taken? I chalked up egg losses to a newly discovered egg eater, who will have to be culled and soon, but I guess she was only eating one a day. I had to move the broody to the coop behind rat wire, away from more eggs getting laid in there, I also, moved the eggs into a sodded nesting box...she came off the nest and ate and everything, went back on now she's off again.....did I break her...I wonder? It can't be more than two days being broody, I counted her on the roost night before last...just couldn't leave her exposed on the poarch, and those nails are really sharp ( with a little plastic ring) but still, 20 days of turning on those will prob scratch them good. I'm hoping now, in a dark secluded corner, and night coming on, she'll nest again...I'm going to try to post the pic...another surprise!!!!
