Broody and laying??
« on: May 14, 2010, 19:37 »
Mammy Hen is going broody - hissing and hogging the nest boxes like a massive feather duster. This is good, she sat tight and hatched some for me last year. But she is still laying an egg a day - what does this mean in terms of her sitting? I don't want to get my fertile eggs too soon! She is being moved to her broody house tomorrow.

Glad for any experienced advice - Many thanks in advance.
3 o'clock is both too early and too late to start anything - Sartre said so.
