Hello, I have been raising chicks the past two years using just broody hens. I have had about 7 clutches so far. Today was the first time ever that a mother straight up attacked me when i tried to give it food and water. I have her in a chicken tractor that is fairly large. she has had a difficult "labor" since I had another broody in my typical broody spot. only one of her chicks hatched out so I wonder if she is more protective. this is her first clutch and she just started laying a few months before she went to brood. has anyone else had this happen?
