Gone Broody

So one of the ladies has decided to try and hatch our unfertilized eggs and gone broody (she sits on the eggs all day).. I often go to the forum on Backyard Chickens.com to find the answers. Apparently I am supposed to kick her off the lay box over and over until she gets the pic that no babies are gonna come out of those eggs. Also, good news on One Eye Lucile- her bad eye is no longer the size of a marble. A few days on antibiotics in their water got it down to normal (however it is still unusable so she will still be one eyed). I learn something new about this chicken thing every week.
