On his side of the fence. We are all done covering her up now. All safe and enough room to move around with cover. Our neighbor doesn't seem to mind, they used to have chickens as well!:) I'll know where to find her if this happens again !!!
One more question. I just went out to check on her again, as she got off the nest and she broke an egg when she had gotten up. It was very foul smelling and completely white, clearly not fertile. But it cracked in the middle of the nest and got on the other eggs. She then started to eat it. Is...
I just took chicken wire and made a large rectangular enclosure and we're going to make a roof over the top of it as well. I'll place it over her tonight when it's dark so I don't upset her as much. Food and water as well. Thank you for the help!!!
We have a large coop and fenced in area for the chickens and ducks. This one hen usually gets out daily and comes back at night! Just not sure what I should do at this point. I didn't realize she even had a nest or I would have at least tried to move her elsewhere
I believed my barred rock pullet to be gone, or disappeared. But yesterday, I spotted her in some tall grass on the side of my neighbor's driveway. She's on about 20 eggs currently and it looks like one of the eggs are pipped. I have never dealt with a broody before and I have no idea what to...

Okay thankyou! Now, if I moved her into say a dog crate with food and water, I would of course do it at night. But how would you move the hen without her getting extremely upset?
We have several nesting boxes for the girls but they always choose this one spot. And of course where this little hen chooses to vacate. Haha. It's a large rabbit hutch that we use for transition of chicks and ducklings going outside. But the problem is, the hens will stand outside the gate...
I have a white Japanese bantam. She went broody and has been sitting on this one clutch of eggs for over a week now. I candles the eggs and all are doing well. My easter egger hen has been kicking the broody little hen out and laying there everyday. I take the eggs after and now my red sex link...
I was told that this was a red sex link. And a rooster. But I caught this one sitting on a clutch of eggs and has a gigantic comb. Is this a hen??? No crowing or egg laying so far. Seems very friendly and I can pick up and pet.
