Maybe it is Dolly's silkie half that has her channeling her inner broody. 😆
The other 2 that I noticed will sit down, act broody, and shove eggs under them. They do end up leaving after a few hours though. They even squawk and peck at me if I get too close (when I am checking on Dolly during...

Do any of yall know why I have chickens who brood for the day and only Dolly who broods to stay?
So. The numbers aren't on em anymore. Lol. She has rubbed them off. Only 5 eggs are left.
Also. My Americana and my RIR Cinnamon keep going broody but only during the day.
Why are some hens (or pullets) broody for the day and others are broody for the stay?
She's doing a good job. She only stays off nest for an hour or so to eat and drink. It's so hot during the day (high 80s and low 90s without heat index added), she should be fine right?
Doubt it bc the nest is an old dresser and has....lemme show you. Its boxes and off the ground. Idk how she'd move em.
See how each one is a box off the ground? Unless she has arms somehow and then she needs to clean up lol.
Now there are 9 eggs. Is she still laying while being broody? I am going to go in tomorrow and remove the extra eggs. I need to mark the new one....but idk which one #8 is now. Think this extra will be alright? I can mark the extra 2 and take the others daily.
Ugh. Tell her to share real Italian food photos if she gets the chance lol. I know all too well. My eldest will be 12 soon and acts like he knows how life works already 😂😒
