Our Molly, a 1 year old brahma bantam has just gone broody a second time in past 4 months. The past week, the chick, May, the only chick she hatched and raised as a surrogate mom has suddenly decided she wants to nest with her...they are inseparable right now in the nesting box but I do know this is May, who is the attached one. Molly is just doing her thing and May is bugging. Normally May is running around outside enjoying herself. She's only 4 months old...I've been doing my best to keep them both out of the coop during the day, because we don't want chicks right now, but just checked this evening and they are both in the nesting box, laying on zero eggs when usually they roost with the others. Any advice? I don't see any reason why this would happen as the other 2 hens and bantam rooster are not being vicious and there's plenty of room to roam. Thanks!
