I arrive from vacation today to find my little Japanese bantam hen sitting in the nest puffing up at me, and kind of like growling as I reach into the coop to check for eggs there were none as I assume our neighbor had already gotten the eggs because she takes care of my birds when were out of town. I have not been home long but from what I can tell she looks dedicated because I saw my Pekin duck sit on her to go to bed
and the hen didn't budge. I'm pretty shore she is broody, so how do I care for this little broody hen? this is my first broody so I'm pretty excited. I have a wire dog cage I could maybe put her in, but should I put the cage in the coop or not? I'm afraid if I move her she won't want to sit on eggs any more. And any other tips on caring for a broody hen will be appreciated.
