    Broody Hen Thread!

    I have a question for you all. My bobby and her babies are doing well and eating up a storm, but Bobby is a thin and her comb a bit pale after her broody spell. She was broody for a few weeks before I concluded that I couldn't break it and gave her eggs - so this has been a long haul. Does...
