broody hen gets what?

[Hennyhandler]

If I recall correctly broody hens eat chick starter for the extra protein yes? Does this include when she is sitting on the eggs AND when they have hatched and she is raising them?

 

[Red&Yellow]

I would. Since she isn't really eating much, the extra protein (and whatever else extra in there) might help keep up her health. It can't be easy sitting on eggs...
