    Could I see if she would adopt the chicks and she can raise them until they are ready for the coop?

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Thank you for your reply. I have 6 buff orpington chicks that are almost 4 weeks old. I am debating if I should rehome my faverolle because of the broodiness. I don't mind it but they don't make eggs when they are broody and that's why I got chickens. I can have only 8 max, so I will be giving...

    This is my broody hen at the moment. I wish she would stop her broodiness! This breed is more broody then I thought faverolles are the sweetest breed but they aren't even a year old yet and I have had two go broody.

    It is double complicated because my broodye while being on the nest my whole flock was introduced to a whole new set up a new coop and a new run so she has a lot to adjust to And is doing fairly well

    Well my broody hen did a very good job she has two out of the six eggs only three of the eggs were actually fertilized I believe and for some reason the last check only developed for so many days and then stopped developing I noticed when I candle the egg that the air sac was on both ends of the...

    Ok she just saw the Chice under her and freaked out and pecked it in the head! Do I have a homicidal broody? And if so should i.let her sit on the Chi KS for the first 24 hours after a hatch and then remove them so they are safe?

    I am not that great with broody hens yet I am dealing.with my broody for the first time too. What I did was separate her from the rest of the flock and give her only one nest and her own space. She doesn't get off the nest at all really I have to get her out after three days of not moving. Maybe...

    I'm having to hand feed my broody hen and give water via dropper. I'm hoping that once they hatch she will get off her broody booty and take care of her immidiate needs. I'm taking her off the next at least once a day in the evening for 30 min to an hour

    My hen went broody early this week. I figured I would get fertilized eggs from a friend and I can hatch some chickes and keep half the hatch to add to my flock. Well she isn't getting off the nest at all unless I take her off. I know this because I have been home all day for the last two and a...
