hmm Wonder why she's doin' that then.
Sweet buff silkies, Banty Chick Mom.

Does she push them out at first or is it after a while of setting?

Could be she's not ready to brood, could be she senses the eggs aren't right and doesn' want to waste time with infertile eggs or chicks that have died along the way.

She pushes them out the next day. She's been setting for a week or two in the same nest so i think she's broody enough. I think your right and the eggs are just infertile or dead...

Basia, if you want tips on how to make your girl happy, SPOIL her! Feed her plain spagetti noodles, and give her differing roosts to play on! She'll be so happy, she'll be running around like this:
chickie3 love chickie eechick yay rotflol yaha clap joy excited

Thank you for moveing the offending pics, Purple Chicken.

Hey Hey! My friend (Going by 'White Water') Is joining soon! and by 'soon' I mean when I find out how to coach her through registering over the phone! Give her a warm welcome when she gets on! (P.S. she dosent have chickens, so I thought that with you guys' help we could get her to get some)! Please bear with me until she's on and we convince her! shrug

I mark my eggs with a pencil and none of my girls have pushed them out for that reason. There's got to be another reason they're doing it.

OK, marked my silkie girl's eggs with a PENCIL and she has not pushed them out yet! Maybe the black mark was the problem? Dunno, but they've been in the nest 5-6 days and we're do'in good!
