    My hen won’t stop being broody

    Thanks! Since we don’t have a crate like that my dad and I have been busy making one... Also I’m putting cold packs under her I’m not sure if it’s lowering her body temp any tho (Don’t worry I’m making sure the packs aren’t too cold) -Roostie

    Old hen still laying

    She is very spry considering her age. Last year I thought she was dead from a hawk attack but when I picked her up she lifted her own head (I cried) and she had a giant slit in her side!! I could go on and on with times she has almost died lol

    lol yesterday I took my broody gen out of the box(we don't have a roo so It doesn't make sense to keep her in there). The turkeys start to come by really close and she kinda puffs up and attacks one of them I barely stopped her from chasing them all the way across the yard!:lau
