    Possible broody

    One of our chickens is only a couple of months old, the other were not sure as brought her recently and she isn't laying yet so I'd think not very old. The brahma is around 1years old. The coop was a pre built one, the nest box is a little higher than the coop.

    Well our brahma sleeps in the main bit next to the roost area and the two younger chickens sleep in the nest box which is also very strange

    Possible broody

    It's a funny thing as she never roosts non of our chickens do which is really strange they have two roosting places and use neither we only have a small coop which is enough for the three birds as they roam all day in our garden. It's a difficult thing to judge.

    Possible broody

    I think we're just going to keep taking her off the nest all day, and blocking it off. She should get the gist of it soon enough. She's even trying to go round the back of the coop to get in. But she hasn't nested outside yet so fingers crossed we've caught it soon enough.

    Broody hen

    Thank you, we live in a built up area. They usually roam the garden all day at the moment. But I've just gone out there and she has decided to lay on the floor underneath the nest boxes. I will have to do some more reading up I think. Thank you for your help

    She's not laid since she became very broody so I'm guessing that is it. I will read through the whole thread later when I have time. Thank you

    Broody hen

    We wouldn't like anymore chicks, she pecks us a bit when we take her off. We will just have to keep at it I guess until it passes.

    Broody hen

    hi everyone I have a very broody hen and this is our first experience with one. Our coop isn't big enough to do the crate suggestion so we have just been taking her off at around lunchtime and locking off he nest and sleep area. If anyone has any suggestions to help us that would be much...

    Possible broody

    Hi everyone, I'm exactly experiencing my first broody hen. She will not come off her nest unless we take her off and we don't have a big enough coop to do the crate suggestion. So do I just keep taking her off and blocking off the nest box. I'm just worried if she needs to lay a egg. Any help...

    Silkie help!

    It does seem a little painful and the bottom on the feather roots are a little red.

    It looks like moulting but that usually happens late summer?
