The one constantly on the nesting box has been on there for close to a week in total. We generally don’t want to hatch them but we don’t mind, we only want the one currently on the nesting box to lay.
We currently have 4 hens, 1 is a normal egg layer, another is still a bit young so she doesn’t lay often. Our other 2 are diffrent, 1 is just laying on the eggs all day and doesn’t get out, my guess is that she is broody but doesn’t know when to come out to eat and stuff, i still feed her though...
