OK, I know this is a rabbit board but this section is for 'off topics' so I thought I'd try because I am totally kerfluffled with this hen. I thought she was broody, she acted broody, a real cranky pants, sitting on a 'nest' day in and night out. Got off occasionally but right back on. Thing is that she somehow got out of the coop proper and decided to nest on top of the straw bales I have stacked for convienence. So I move her to the 'hatching' area and put 3 eggs under her thinking if she was broody, I'd put 4 more under her today as I got them. Well, she doesn't like the area and won't sit on the eggs so I let out. She immediately goes to 'her' spot and settles in. So what the hay, I stuck the three eggs under her. She rolled them all out. Why would she do that? Broody or not, my hens don't roll out eggs, they just sit on them, lay theirs then get off. Any insight would be very appreciated.
