Our bantam hen is starting to lay again after just kicking the last clutch of babies out of the nest. that was her first hatch of chicks and she took great care of them, but now we have problems with the chicks burying her eggs. we have a web cam out there and can see that they go into the coop after she is done & will cover them with anything they can find. We cant lock everyone out & her in alone but i wonder why they are doing it and why does she let them? we dig them out every night after work so that she can see where to lay & not sit in a different box. Is she not planning on sitting on this batch of eggs?
i'm so frustrated with them all right now!!!
