Broody Question!?

[albird101]

My hen has been broody for 10 days and she's been sitting on fertile eggs, there due to hatch next Thursday, but I've been feeling her crop as she sits in the nest and she has very little food is that normal for a broody? Her food and water dish are always full with veggies,corn, egg shells, and insects(worms,roaches) I know she gets off the nest early in the morning because, I always find broody poop any advice?

hi,
yes it is normal that she isn't eat much food, because all she's doing is sitting there every day of 21 days she won't need much food and water.
hope your hatching goes well

Yes this is normal. You can hand feed her things during the day if you like to keep her strength up. Good luck with your new brood and enjoy BYC!
