this is my first broody hen... i think. i don't have a rooster and she's been in the nesting box for almost 2 weeks. she switches nesting boxes, and isn't laying on just her eggs. when i go to take them away she churtles at me and puffs up. yesterday i took her out she just layed on the floor where i put her down, then walked away after a few minutes. today when i picked her up i realized her belly is naked! theres no feathers on her belly, not even stubs! is this normal or should i be concerned? i just want to make sure she isn't egg bound. also is it healthy to just let her do her thing or should i try to discourage this behavior? all of my other chickens have never cared about their eggs as much as this one...
Thanks!
Thanks!
