help! I have a hen that keeps switchings nest and sits on the eggs she and the other girls lay. She wont get off for a couple of eggs and then seitches nest boxes. I take the eggs out as soon as she switches but she is ruining a lot of good eggs. What can I do?
When I have a broody hen I just take her out and put her in a separate cage for about 3 days and by then she doesn't want to be broody anymore. Also you can just take her off the nest to get the eggs out from under her too. I check everyday. No broken eggs at all.
