[CHICKENS-101] How long broody?

 

How long will a hen remain broody without eggs? Lilly is my only
broody hen (so far). Back in late June she started sitting on eggs.
That didn't work out and for 3 weeks now she's been out of her cage
and every day I come home and find her sitting on some eggs. I hear
her squawk before I see her and I pick her up and collect the eggs.
At this point I'm willing to let her have eggs again just to satisfy
her. I told hubby to clean out her cage today and depending on how
many eggs we have, I may place her in her cage with fresh eggs and
allow her to have her way. My biggest concern is that she'll decide
partway through she's had enough and abandon the eggs.
