Thank you but looks like she is abandoning them. The male that watches over them is still hanging out but haven’t seen her. They would have started hatching in 1 more week.
She is smaller then the other mama’s and she was laying them out in the open so I’m thinking she is new to it. Everything was off since day one. And im going on someone else’s rental property to check/feed. (Go through this every year). Not the moving of eggs though
There is any number of reasons a hen will give up on a nest. The eggs could have been bad, a predator could have been harassing her, only she knows but it is still early in the season and she will probably set another nest yet this year.
