TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 It sounds like she could be. Is she all fluffed up when you look at her on the nest? Does she tell you off if you try and take her off the nest? One of mine went broody the other day. I just keep trying to keep her off the nest.

Egluntyne Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Sounds as if she might be broody. There is a "sticky" ...HERE... about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsDaisy Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 she has spent some of today trying to hatch a brick, but has spent much more time outside (giving us evils!) I have also dunked her in water as per the instructions. poor thing. hopefully it'll work and she'll start laying again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
