Amber Chicken has had to be turfed out of the nest box the last 3 days. She is pictured sitting on nothing! She will happily sit on everyone else's eggs, or as here, on no eggs at all and the rest have to lay on the floor of the house. I've taken to turfing her off, which she really doesn't like, but otherwise she doesn't eat or drink. I don't want her to lose condition and I have absolutely no intention of raising chicks so I have to be brutal. She distracts easily with a few treats and after half an hour of ruffling her feathers up and swearing at me, she goes back to her normal sunny self.
A funny thing, your average chicken!
