HI y'all. One of my hens went broody a few days ago. I have two questions. And just for background, my hens are pets and I look at them in that light.
1. When she first went broody, she would get up in the morning and eat. I haven't seen her do that in the last 2 days. She may have done it when I didn't see though. I just want to make sure that she won't starve herself.
2. What is the most humane thing to do? Just let her be broody for 3 weeks? It seems like that will be really hard on her physically. Or put frozen veggies under her? I don't want to do that water thing. It's not that warm here. Thanks so much.
Kevin
