Thank you!
We do want to get her a friend for sure! It's just right now we have only been seeing chicks and we would ideally like to get her something around her age and not have to deal with the hassle of raising a chick, though they are temptingly adorable!! But we have a busy life around here, 3 dogs, 2 of them with special needs, adding an extra task into our already busy day would be crazy!
So we will certainly keep an eye out for a pullet or something around a year to add to the coop. We have plenty of chicken wire and scrap wood, so making a small quarantined area would not be a problem, my husband built the coop and run for her so that should be a breeze!
Our newest issue is our girl has become broody in the last day or 2.. we took her out today (well actually my husband did with leather gloves cause she was pecking at him) she did not want to leave her little cozy box. But we got her out and she ate and drank water and pooped a massive poop and now she is back in the box getting ready to lay again and I am sure the process will begin all over again for us. Any recommendations on a broody hen other than what we are doing? I know we need to be sure she is getting food and water, but other than that we just need to let nature take it's course I guess...
