Grrr - I think I'd be locking them in too or trying to break the broodiness if they are just wasting eggs like that. Fortunately (or unfortunately) mine aren't old enough to lay yet so I haven't had to deal with that problem. That is definitely frustrating!Just thought I'd drop in and say 'Hi' to everyone - haven't been on in a week or so - super busy with work, garden, kiddos, and baby goat kids . . . had twin bucks born last Thursday. I have 4 broody hens - I have to keep throwing eggs away because after a week or so of setting on the nests, the hens move and the eggs get cold I've got one hen 'locked' in a homemade nester box (I'll take pics and try to post tomorrow) and am trying to figure out a way to confine the others to the nest boxes (of course with food and water). It's been very frustrating . .
