    Waterbelly.

    Hello, my flock has a chicken that we don't know if it is waterbelly or eggbound. My question is, is that do chickens lay while having waterbelly? thanks. Also, I know my grammar isn't exactly up to par on those sentences, I'm just in a rush.

    Brooding Noises

    In Two of my chickens, Kentucky and Aretha, they seem to always make the brooding sound, even when they're not broody. Kentucky has been one of our most broody birds, so she may have become accustomed to that sound, but Aretha has never been broody. When I try to pet or pick Aretha up she makes...
