    Broody copper maran

    This is second time this little gal has gone broody - after putting post on Nextdoor in my n'brhood - I was told to "lock her up" which I did - for 2 days. She shaped up for a very short while - now she's doing it again, so I put her in my shower for 2 nites & let her out this afternoon...

    Since I just ordered 50# of layer feed, I don't want to get something else. I think perhaps increasing protein intake, but not too much. I know I'm a soup & french bead fanatic during the winter, but I don't molt; but with colder weather adding a bit more protein surely wouldn't hurt.
