hey quick question here
I've got my first broody hen, and not sure if I should move/quaratine her from the rest of the flock. I have her placed under the nesting boxes (lots of room) but not sure if I should barricade her in/others out.
any suggestions?
 
I would totally lock her out, if you don't want a broody hen. I lock mine out the nesting area after I pick up the eggs. It's not motel # 6, they have to go out in the yard a hustle for bugs like the rest of the flock. This is the best way to keep the eggs coming, and hens from going broody.
