Hi, I was wondering if broody chooks ALWAYS sit on eggs or on straw on the ground, or do they sometimes just sit on the perch all day? I don't know if one of my 5 chickens is sick or could it be broody? It has been sitting on the perch, fluffed up for almost two weeks now. I took it to the vet, to get it checked out, but the vet could not see anything wrong with it. I take it out in the morning and in the afternoons when I am home so it gets to eat and drink (which it does), but then she returns back to her perch. So I wondered, could she be sick or could another possibility be that she is broody but instead of sitting on the straw, decides to perch herself? thank you for any feedback.
