I have another broody hen and I am really worried because my last (and first) broody hen died so I want to know what to do differently this time. I purchased a cage from the pet store (it was meant to be for a parrot). I placed it in the outside portion of the coop. She always had plenty of water and food. The problem was that she was so aggitated. She kept trying to "fly" out of the cage and ultimately hit her head on the top of the cage and broke her neck. She had been broody for several days before I recognized it as such. She was only in the cage for 24 hours. Any advice on what to do differently would be appreciated.
