Thanks aart, the poor girls are pretty cooped up. They have a small covered area outside but it has been below freezing all day every day & they have been staying inside a lot. I'm looking forward to spring so they can get back to roaming & foraging.

She went straight to eating when I put her on the coop floor. I'm puzzled. Will just continue to watch her I guess. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

Thank you Teila. She is about 9 months old, Golden Partridge Brahma. We are in winter & temps have been steadily below freezing. She doesn't seem protective of the nest, rather unresponsive.

I have a hen who has been sitting in a nesting box for 2 days with only a plastic egg underneath her. It appears she hasn't moved. She is facing the back of the box. Wouldn't take corn from my hand. Is she being broody or not feeling well?
