Have you been talking to this pullet behind my back? I feel like you two are plotting against me for more chicks.

Your going to need one by Spring if you want eggs...just sayin'.

Woman, it's always a conspiracy when it comes to chickens

Ok I've been watching her on the camera and she got off the nest for about an hour at noon. Normal broody behavior??

I'm picking up eggs today after work. How do I mark them? Can I use a sharpie or will that damage the bloom?

Edited to add: uh oh... its 1400 and she's off the nest again. Does this mean she's not ready to be a mom?..

Totally normal behavior, especially in this heat. Yes you can mark them with a sharpie, I usually just put an X on them, if you use anything else it'll just rub off. Has she been sleeping in the nest?

Whew. That's a relief to hear that's normal. I was instantly regretting getting fertilized eggs! Haha

Yes, she sleeps there. From about 4:30 yesterday until this afternoon, she didn't leave the nest.
