This is exactly why I am setting eggs in the incubator, instead of giving the eggs to my broody~~~~~~~~~~~~~~chicks are happy in the brooder................Broody Mama wants OUT !!!My chickens want out SOOOO bad! Should I just let them? (They are 9 weeks old but very feathered.) They don't have a run, just free range and there's covered areas they can get to. Our neighbors chickens were out in the pouring rain yesterday and seemed as happy as could be foraging around the yard. (They are a mile and a half from us, but still neighbors).
