Broody hen

[Chey1214]

My silver bantam went broody (and my blue ameraucana) at the same time. They won’t let me keep them in a cage and insist they stay there.

I marked their eggs, will they be ok there with other birds bothering them?

If you keep brooding hens in the flock mark their eggs and remove added eggs daily. If others will disturb them to much will depend on your flock dynamics and hen flock status.

I wanted to cage her but she was flipping out to get back to the nest even though her eggs were with her. She’s a determined stubborn bantam lol
