So a couple days ago i noticed 1 of my hens , a 7 month old welsummer, was on the nest all day. She was there that night. I was worried because the last time i had a hen that wouldn't roost she passed away. ( a couple years ago) but this one seemed fine. So the next day she was on the nest and the next evening when i went to lock them in for the night i got close to her and was gping to examine her and she hissed and puffed all her feathers and flaired her tail. Today i put food and water in the coop near her because i dont think shes left the coop at all.
I was hoping for a broody but didnt think it would happen so soon.
If i break her will it stop her from ever going broody again?
If i move her to a little coop and run of her own with her clutch how likely is she to abandon her eggs because ive handled them?
If she does abandon it will she ever go broody again?
