Quote: It is common for the others to pick on a broody. I see it too in my flock. What is happening is, the rest of the flock that is not broody see her as something is wrong with her....she is growling at everybody, she is cluck cluck clucking at the others, she has a pale comb, she is acting weird as far as they are concerned...etc. And the flock thinks she is sick or disturbed. LOL They will stop picking on her when she stops being broody.
