When should i remove eggs from nesting box??

Recommended Posts

Hiya, My hen Skull just started laying 3 days ago & had an egg from her everyday around 1:30pm but i'm not sure when i should be removing the eggs?

Yesterday & today she was sitting ontop of the egg so i just moved her & took the egg away, is that wrong & too soon? They were still very warm when i took them so could she be broody already?

 

:D:D:D:D:D

 

Thanks for any help

I take mine out mid-afternoon or even when i go to lock them up. We've only ever had one broody chicken so i'm sure it's nothing to do with how long we leave the eggs in for. We've also been away for the weekend and left them.

 

Eggs are warm when they've just been laid or if a chicken has benn sitting on them. My girls all lay in the same place so the other eggs inevitably get warm. I wouldn't worry too much.
