My golden laced wyandotte age 5-8? Decided to start sitting for the first time since I have had her (september '07).
I have all hens, and knew that the eggs she was hoarding would not hatch. So I got a dozen local fertile eggs and put them under her. I do not have a "brooder". She is in a nice corner of the coop, and all other ladies seem to leave her alone.
It has now been 4-5 days of straght sitting. She does not leave to eat or drink. Is this normal? I have put water close to her and I give a couple handfuls of food a day.
I am super new to the whole chicken scene, and am looking for any advice.
thank you
