I have a RIR hen that I'm always finding hanging out with the guineas and chicks near the brooder. Every chance she gets to go over there she does. She flies over the fence to be near them and everything. I'm wondering if it's even possible for her to go broody before she's layed an egg. She's egg laying age, I'm just waiting at this point. OR is she simply the bottom hen and looking to hang out with smaller chickens. She does roost on the roost lower than all the other chickens. I'm starting to feel all motherly over her.
