Two questions here:
1) One of our hens has gone broody. She's sitting on eggs, or even just in the nest if we take the eggs, most of the day (and I assume night, since when I opened the coop door this morning at 6:00 she was sitting in the nest). Not entirely sure what to do about this.
2) All of the other hens have started to pick on the broody one. They chase her around, peck at her, jump on top of her, etc. This is completely new, and it started happening when she got broody so I'm assuming there's a connection?
Thanks for your help!
