Tweety Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 One of my girls, who was broody about 3 weeks ago, is showing all the signs of being so again. I have made a broody house out of a dog cage, so put her in it after she had been hogging the nest all morning, only to find that she has just laid an egg. I am positive that she is broody - she is making all the right noises, is puffed up like a furry pancake, will allow me to pick her up which she never does normally, and will not get off the nest. I thought that they stopped laying when they are broody - am I wrong about that - or perhaps that egg was on its way down the pipeline just before she turned broody? Should I leave her where she is? Any advice gratefull received! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 From the way you describe her, she does sound broody to me. I would see how she is tomorrow. She could lay a few more eggs to get ready to nest on them! They off to the broody cage with her! All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
