She was pitiful, she wanted to be a Mommy so! I didn't have the heart to ever throw her off the nest, but she would steal the others eggs and claim them for her own. We would leave golf balls for her to pretend sit. We used to have a “Sittin’ Banty” when we lived at Horseshoe Bend. She was pitiful, she wanted to be a Mommy so!

Her eggs finallyexploded under her what a mess!!!! She is off the nest finally but if I know her she will go back. I have to collect eggs daily. What is funny is when she is sitting she gladly lets others join her and lay their eggs and she just keeps setting. :lol: :lol: I have one that is the same.
