For the last two days, one of my Rhodeys has been sitting on the next and getting very cross if she's moved off. I guess she's gone broody. I've managed to coax her out for food and drink a couple of times a day.
The other two lay eggs first thing in the morning, so I whip the eggs away fast. She's sitting on an empty next.
We have an Eglu, so I've just dislodged her and shut the door, so she can't get back in. She's fluffing herself up and grumbling, but what else can I do? I've read on Omlet that you can dip them in cool water to lower their body temperature. Sounds a bit harsh to me! Any one else got any ideas?
