    Broody Hen Thread!

    I had candled it before hand and it was doing fine but, I went in today to make sure she didn't break it and it wasn't there. There are no eggshells lying around and there's no sticky mess or anything and I have no idea what happened to it.

    Alright so basically I made my cochin bantam hen broody in less than 5 minutes. I just set her down on a nest of eggs and put some in front of her to tuck and now she's full on broody. She has never shown any sign of broodyness until now and she's not even a year old
