After about 6 weeks of mothering, she'll start to wean them gently off her and return to the flock, she'll still usually keep an eye out for them though.
Anyone else think '🤗:love🥰' when they see a hen protecting her eggs/chicks in such a sweet way?
I know a lot of people think about how to break a broody as soon as they see her, and that's understandable of she's gonna hamper egg production and can't hatch anyway...
But do other people pause...
