Made to leave; usually by force.

Thank you. I hadn't heard that one before.

I am behind everywhere today but I had the kiddies & we are heading into 3 days hard lockdown as of this evening. The panic is insane & maybe I'm really dumb but I'm missing the point of the insistence on hard lockdown & mandatory masks 24~48 hours after everyone's been jammed in shops lines minus social distancing or masks for 45 minute waits to get through the checkout. Won't make much difference to us unless it gets extended.

Hmmm Interesting suggestion.
The only thing I can think of is that she hasn't laid an egg for about 10 months.

And she misses laying eggs? She feels less of a chicken because she no longer lays? She has extra time and doesn't know what to do with it?

Seriously though. Congratulations! Assuming she has just plain laid them all, you have managed to get a leghorn through the one thing that is likely to kill them, excessive egg laying. May Tsuki terrorize hens for years to come!

I think she is second from the bottom with Edwina at the bottom. They usually hang out together when they are free ranging. I have been making sure she gets some food and water and she will also go for a short dust bath before she rushes back to the nesting box.

While she was out this morning I put a couple of fake eggs in the middle nesting box. She was very interested in them and switched to the middle box and tucked them under her chest.

In a few years time, if she is still getting broody and I need to get new flock members I might try slipping a couple of day old chicks under her at night.

That would be awesome. Good job giving her some ceramic eggs to hatch. I'm interested to see if this helps her to be a normal broody and less tranced.

Good luck. Unless you are going too do it for over 14 days it makes no sense.
