Questions about bourbon reds?

[Luckyhen006]

If you collect her eggs she will keep laying a little bit more Correct?
And if you leave them with her and let her go broody that will be her last time for that season Correct?

Sorry if I'm asking to many questions,

Not too many Questions. Yes, if you collect eggs and they don't get broody they will usually continue to lay I get eggs here from March through September and have gotten them as late as Thanksgiving. By the late heat of summer, I start wishing they would stop gets to be a pain finding and picking up all the eggs that are not needed. I have also had hens hatch a clutch early and try sitting another clutch in late summer/fall. I never let them sit the second clutch or do I incubate in fall.

I have kept a group of hens that never went broody together one year and collected eggs for eating from them and some of them laid from end of march until beginning of November.

If you collect the eggs and don't leave fake eggs in their place she will move her nest and try to make it more hidden.
