Our broody hen is on a shelf and should be moved to a more spacious penned in space...or so I believe? My guess is sooner the better. Then too I can control from extra eggs laid on that pile. We have a 12 egg pile and maybe the broody bordering on Bantam size should reduce size to fewer eggs? Should I let her off the pile (like I've any control and eat with the "general population"? ("every jailbird deserves a prison yard" -- the German guy, Fidelis, I bought the mobile coop from) That's what's happening now. They're off for a while. I find that dismaying, but figure they know best. When I check later the broody is back. yes I should be more attentive to see if they sub in for eachother. I thought i witnessed that, but unsure upon reflection....more later
