    Should I let my hen be broody?

    Since she left today she has not been back in, so guessing she isn’t broody any more. Helpful for me as I won’t be breaking her myself, when she was ‘broody’ or whatever she was doing, she was sort of repeatedly clucking and growling - sounded a bit like a dinosaur 🤣 (I’ve never had a broody...

    Should I let my hen be broody?

    Last night she slept on the nest, when she usually sleeps on the roost with the others. But right now she’s still out so I’m guessing she’s snapped out of it

    Should I let my hen be broody?

    She’s now off the nest, and out foraging. Is she not broody anymore? I’m hoping she isn’t broody now, as she quite clearly wouldn’t be very good at it. I took a picture of what she was sitting on, safe to say she was covering quite a lot more than I thought she was for a little bantam 🤣

    Should I let my hen be broody?

    Strange situation… I have a 24 week old bantam frizzle hen who has only just started laying around a week ago, and she appears to have gone broody. She’s been on the nest all morning, when I put my hand in to see what she’s sitting on she growled at me (I’ve never seen her do this before), I...
