I tried that but the girls are sitting right next to each other, In fact they will steal each other's eggs. So the eggs get tossed back and forth between the two girls. but when I moved them, besides getting EXTREMELY UPSET with me, they got right up and went back to the original spot, they didn't want any part of the Safety home. They went to there spot and sat without eggs being under them... So i was trying to think of a way to close them in but I can't because they are in such a small spot right now, I can hardley get to themself.. they aren't in there nesting boxes nope they are on the ground, next to the boxes in this little tight spot..
Then I thought OK don't punish the girls get the criminal The rhode island red, well we are in the process of building 3 coops and they are getting close to being done but they are not tall enough yet. The Rhode island red would be able to fly over the fence and escape.. I think I'm gonna have to lock up the Rhode Island red in the bunny coop until the babies are born. The worst part of all this is the Third mommy hatched out a baby and sure enough, it's gone, i beleive it was the Rhode Island Red. She's such a sick chicken. She seems to eat EVERYTHING. She has plenty of food, plenty of water, I give them crack corn in the morning only for a treat and yet she's got to do this.. Very frustrating... Why must she make my life difficult? I'm wondering if she is doing this because she's lacking something in her diet or is this just a bad habit of her and it's not possible to break her from it? She is Free range, so If i lock her up in the bunny cage, she will NOT be happy with me.. LOL..
