Why Did My Chicken Sit On The Eggs For Like 15 Seconds Then Went Out Of Her Nest??

[Silver6780]

So my Chicken ISA Brown Sat on her eggs for like 15 seconds then wanted to get out so then she just went and sat down in the grass why did she sit on her eggs for 15 seconds? Is she being ready to lay an egg??!

These are her eggs she was sitting on she moved them separately Why?

How old is she?
Were you trying to make her to sit on eggs?

Hens will shift eggs around in the nesting box. The eggs may be in the way, hens just sort of bumble around in the nesting box knocking things around - could be a reason only a hen knows

Yeah they like to sit on eggs even after they are done laying. Not necessarily because they are broody but because they just like to!
We have an old Leghorn who stopped laying eggs a few years ago, but she loves to sit on eggs still. The younger ladies are not very appreciative of her clucking and pushing them out of the nest boxes.

How'd she get inside the egg? LOL

No she just went inside her nesting box and sat for just 15 sec then went out and she's 7 to 8 years old

Hens do things for reasons we may never know - she may have just changed her
mind

Has she ever been broody? 7-8yrs old for an Isa Brown is good!

As long as she is eating/drinking and active, I wouldn't worry about it.
