Just spent some time with the 6 hens and 1 roo
1 hen has been broody for so long and still is, she is on 5 eggs today.
Some time ago she hatched 2 that dissapeared, I brought her eggs in, and those all went wrong. She is still broody since then.
She didn't even move when I came in today like she normally does.
But the treats got the better of her and she came out, three of the other hens chased her off the food constantly.
She acts so submissive to them but she was also determined to get some treat. I felt so bad for her.
Should I bring her in with her eggs?
She would have to live indoors in a large dog kennel.
If I do how long till I can put her back out with them?
I have other chicks coming next month I needed the room in house for grrrrr
She isn't missing any feathers, should I wait till it's more serious? like missing feathers?
Wonder why they're so nasty to her now.
Edit; the birds doing the pecking are moulting is that like chicken pms? lol
