Angry Broody

[PippinTheChicken]

My most skittish hen went broody and I'm looking for advice. This is my first time with a broody who attacks and bites.
I tried to take her out to eat but she tried to attack me, luckily Raven rescued me by pecking her and chasing her away.
What do I do to make sure she gets out okay?

She'll go out on her own. She knows when she needs to eat and drink, so I would just leave her alone. Bothering her too much will just stress her out.

Thank you.

I hope she snaps out of it soon, only half of her is a broody breed!

If you don't want her broody, and you can't touch her, then you can try putting an ice pack under her to break her.

But she'll peck the hekk out of my hands!

You can wear gloves or something.

The annoying part is that she pecks me when I'm trying to take the other broody out

She's just a tiny ball of pure fury, isn't she?
