Broody Hen. What do I Feed her?

[The_Patriot5150]

I have a broody hen sitting on some eggs and I was excited to hatch some of my own chicks. I am new to broody hens and was wondering what to feed her in these 3 weeks so she can be well fed without complications. I would appreciate any response. Thanks

You can feed her whatever you feed your chicks, chick crumb, flock starter etc. My chicks had chick crumb so I’d give that to my broody hens. No point in layers feed if they aren’t laying.

I would feed chick starter for mom and babes
