I have a BCM hen that has decided to go broody. I took the eggs last night but she still sitting. Tonight there were no eggs to gather so I think she is stealing them. Been getting 6-11 eggs per day. My questions are:
1. My nest is 2 foot off the ground so she will have to be moved. Should i go ahead and move her now. That way she can't steal anymore eggs.
2. Do I move her at night? I thought I would put hay in pet carrier and take the eggs from under her and then pick her up and put her in there. That way if she decides to quit sitting it won't be right before they hatch.
3. How many eggs should I let her have?
Any advice is greatly appreciated !!
