So a little over a week ago one of our hens went broody. So we went on a duck egg hunt and found some duck eggs for her to lay on. That was a week ago. We haven't been able to move her out of the coop because when we tried she totally freaked. So she has just been in one of the nest boxes. It is the favorite one though. She has let off the nest to let other chickens to lay there though and while we had to get the eggs out every so often, it was alright.
But then we noticed she was coming down. And she didn't seem to happy about it. And one of our other hens was going up there and sitting. At first we just thought she was laying. And now we are noticing that she is sitting on the eggs and our original broody hen is sitting right outside, she sitting like she is broody. So what do we do? This is our first experience with broody hens and eggs trying to hatch.
