Is she broody?

Ok so now I'm annoyed, looks like Emma is going to sit tight nearly took my arm off a minute ago when I went to check on her she is sat on 3 eggs but I've got no more to put under her, the kids had scrambled eggs and cakes at the weekend! Damn!

Not fussed about the no eggs to eat, I would gratefully sacrifice them for some cute and fluffys, just would have liked to have a few more under her! Thats presuming she continues to stay broody (long way to go).

How long should I leave her before I put her in her own quarters as she is sat in the only nest box are there going to be squabbles?

Have a vacant rabbit hutch, guess that will be nice and snug! When is best time to move her? Before the others attempt to go to bed? They roost above the nest box or when its darker? Is she going to attack me? I've never seen her look at me quite like she did when I peered in on her earlier?

Thanks I'll move her later then, I guess if she doesn't have the distraction of the others she is more likely to stay put also! She is in a box that I could lift with her in it do you think she would go for that?

Well Emma has settled just lovely into her new home! I let her out to have a stretch before the dogs and other chickens this morning thinking she would feel less threatened and more likely to feed and drink etc. She was out for about 15-20 mins but didn't have a drink even though it was right infront of her, not that I'm worried at this point but how long should she leave it before she does? I have a very hot garden this afternoon, should i let her out again later? She has only been sitting for just over 24 hours didn't see whether she drank yesterday morning though. Thanks!
