Hi everyone,
my hen is sitting on three eggs. But she doesn't sit on them all the time! Sometimes she will sit on them for half the day, and on other days only a quarter of the day or mabye less. WHAT IS SHE DOING??? :-?
She seems to be a half-broody silkie! :lol:

Can anyone tell me what she is up too?

Courta93! :-D :-D :-D

Courta93, It's not uncommon to have a young hen (if she's young) do this quite often their first attempt is a trial run and they get better with age. If she is in a pen with other hens she may be forced off the eggs, if so try putting her in a brooder cage.


Thanks
Peacocks Australia :lol: :lol:
