YO GEORGIANS! :)

She turns her head and gives me the stank eye. She opens her beak just no noise

Check that. I just opened the nesting box lid and was going to check her, and she pecked at me

If she sits in the nest and does not join her friends on the roost for 3 nights, you can consider her broody.

That makes sense. This is my first time so...if she joins them or goes back to "normal" collect and dispose of those eggs? I don't have an incubator, so that's not an option right now.

Anyone want any high quality breeder quality Maran cockerels? I have a few extra!

Hope you don't mind my 2 cents. I wouldn't dispose of them if she leaves for a day or so. She may come back and they may still be viable. That is what I have seen and most recently with my turkey hen. She sat for nearly a week, I think, went off for a couple of days and returned. She got a 100% hatch rate. The little hen, on the other hand, sat on her eggs faithfully for the full term and after 32 days I switched out the 2 eggs with 2 chicks I bought.

Always open to opinions. I am still relatively new to the chicken thing. That makes sense. She has calmed down since I added the other two. I had to fix food and water for the others, and had the back door to coop open. She never even looked at us or anything just sat there all relaxed. Maybe we will have some chicks in a few weeks

He's pretty, go rescue him

On a sad note, the cottontail bunny that I was nurturing passed away. I had taken him to the vet cause he developed wry neck, and he seemed to be doing well with the meds, but then all of a sudden he passed, I really did get attached to the little guy.
