I have a hen that is 6 months old.
she sits on the nest and does nothing..except squeek and squock at you as you walk by or collect the eggs.
I cant tell if she has stopped laying but i am guessing so cause there was no egg in that nest today but i cant see if she has moved to another during the day.
1) Is this what you would call a broody hen?
2) should I break her of her broodyness?
3) would it cause any long term affects if i allow her to go through the broody cycle
4) should I put a wooden egg under her?
I dont care if she has stopped laying for a while for her broody period. She has given me a lot of eggs and I think she deserves a break
