    Ok thank you for the help! I'll have to find a small kennel tomorrow. Hope it works! I don't want to have to make her in to stew! And a MN winter is no time to hatch chicks

    Weird Behavior

    Weird Behavior

    We have a hen that has been sitting in the same nest for at lest a week know... shes always in it. I have pulled her out of it a few times and she makes funny noises at us when we open the door or act like we are going to pet her. I have thought maybe she is broody but I have not pulled any eggs...
