She obviously can still feel movement inside at least one egg then, fingers crossed for you and her  :)

Oh so sorry scabs, perhaps next year things will be more productive. At least you know she will sit through the whole period. xx

I keep thinking she might have gone back to sit after I left this morning but I think I'm grasping at straws.

What a disappointment. As you say though, she's been a good girl. I've another hen sitting too, so who knows...

She might have done Scabs, mine have been known to get off and the eggs have felt cold to the touch, but just before I remove them they come back, so perhaps she may have. Isn't Mrs Scabs at home to take a peek?

Fingers crossed but if it's not to be then remember there is always next year and the other broody - she has proved her staying power so will come good next time hopefully  :)
