Broody Hen?

[Shawna89]

My silkie hen Maggie is sitting in the nest, this is my first broody hen.

Do I leave her alone, what should I do?

What do you want her to do, hatch some eggs or break her from being broody?

 

[Shawna89]

Great, I didnt know if I should leave her alone or what, I stuck some eggs under her! It'll be my first chicken-incubator hatch!

Yes I do have a rooster! I snuck her some more eggs, she is now sitting on 4. Go Maggie Go!

Okay, good then. Not everyone knows you need a rooster for your hen to hatch eggs. Just checkin'.
