Help!
we have 5 pet chickens that are allowed to free range during the day. they are all great layers. No Rooster! this week one of the hens has taken to sitting on all the eggs. usually they lay their egg, make a huge noisy commotion and leave. we finally moved the sitting chicken and her clutch of eggs into the garage in a separate pen. will she eventually give up on the eggs? should we take them away from her and chase her out? what would happen if we got a chick from the farm store and gave it to her? thanks for any help/advise Boo
