| Hi guys,
One of our little red hens has turned clucky so we are looking for some fertilized eggs for her to hatch out. So she will stop stealing the other ladies eggs and being rather user unfriendly.
Perfer local area. |

| No worries. When can you get them?
I could meet you at Woodcroft or something if you like.
I have tomorrow off, so can organise something for then. |

| Keep taking the eggs and turfing her out of her box???? Some are harder to convince than others. I have had a couple that have broody for 4-6weeks.  Cranky old bags..  |

| Its unhealthy for a hen to be broody for longer than gestation of an egg to hatch, approx 3 weeks.
They become weak, eat and drink less than they need to survive.
Remove her from her warm environment, in to an open drafty wire bottom cage. Prob take atleast a week to snap her out of it. |
