    How can I tell if my hen is going broody?

    I have a year old BO and two roos. Last night when I was closing the coop for the night and pulling the egg (she gives 6 a week), I noticed that one of the nesting boxes had material other than the pine that I put in the box. Lots of leaves and twigs from the yard. Could this mean my hen is...
