Long time in the nest box!!!
« on: June 19, 2012, 13:04 »
One of my girls spent a lot of yesterday in the nest box  and has been in there for a lot of today, do you think she could be egg bound - and if so, what can I do about it???

Many thanks in advance for your replies!!!

Was just going to say it sounded like she is broody
Gained an allotment on the 19th June 08, 135ft by 40ft! eekk. Finally after 4 years it is looking like an allotment and not a jungle

We have 5 lovely hens in the garden, fish, 2 dogs and 2 canaries

She was very subdued yesterday and just not her usual perky self. I've just been to check on her and she is out of the box and looking a lot livelier........and she has left behind a very big and very warm egg.

Cheers for the replies guys!!!
