She was so focused on taking care of her egg and then the babies, she neglected herself. A little of her favorite, (Cheerios), seemed to snap her out of it.

I feed my Broody Hens starter and then scrambled egg with peas every few days.

She just wouldn’t eat, I tried eggs, even put some right in front of her in the nest. She would pick it up and put it in front of the babies to eat, but wouldn’t eat no more than a bite herself. I tried bread, scratch, even mealworms, same thing each time. So I bought Cheerios, her favorite. She gobbled them up and after that she started eating regularly again.

During the setting did you remove her from the nest every couple of days to poo, drink and eat?

I tried but she wouldn’t have none of it. Squawked and cried trying to get back to her egg. She is a very protective mama.
