jsbates65 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Edith has been laying eggs for several weeks now, but suddenly she has become very broody. Even when I took the egg, she just stayed broody. Is there anything I should do when she gets like this? Or do I just let her sit? I miss her when she's in there all day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen&Lee Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 thanks. that is what I needed!! I had no idea she could do this for 3 weeks!! Three weeks is if you are lucky I left mine to it - I didn't count but it must have been at least 9 weeks before I stepped in with ice blocks....

chelsea Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Great video John Edith is adorable - she is so funny trying to dustbath and scratch your rug! Saxon made me laugh aswell as you were trying to get her attention and she wasnt having any of it and just carried on eating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanbb Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Edith is so beautiful. Just love her beehive hair do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsbates65 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 OK.. .I think she is snapping out of it. I tried dumping her in water a couple of times without any difference. Finally decided to leave her to it but forced her out every now and then so I saw her eat & drink. Today she is out & about again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
