I've got 6 of my 11 hens wanting to be broody now, all at the same time, two of them for the first time, and as it is I'm only getting 2 or 3 eggs a day at the moment - change of season, moulting, new additions to the flock, who knows? I feel like putting up a sign, "No broodiness allowed!"
And they ALL want to do this in the same two nest boxes - why do they think I went to all the trouble of building enough beautiful, snug and warm, nest boxes so each one can have their own space?!
OK, granted I haven't put up the little curtains that I promised them yet, and I also have not painted the top nest boxes yet, but I just have not had the time due to other pressures, but I promise I will be getting to it soon!
