I have a buff orpington who went broody a few weeks ago. She is in the nestbox less now, and will sleep on the roost occasionally, but when she comes down from the coop into the run she is attacked by the other chickens and will go running back up, it's sort of like they don't remember her. She has scabs on her comb and may be losing weight. I am wondering a few things:
Is it possible she isn't broody, but just scared of the other chickens?
How can I get the other chickens used to her again?
Are there any things I should do for her until then(I am thinking adding another feeder or taking her out of the coop and feeding her separately)?
