Have you tried dunking her belly in cool water throughout the day? I've found that helps a lot when it gets really hot. I also have them near a floor fan to help cool them off.I let Widget out of the broody crate late this afternoon. She's still making her pre-broody noise: bup-bup-bup-bup.
I closed off the nest boxes. I hope to see her on the roost with the other ladies in a few minutes.
Really, Widget... it's too hot for you to be in the crate or sitting in a nest box.
Mid September.@sourland, you already said, but I forgot... when is your great-grand daughter due to make an appearance?
Tell that to Amelia, Astrid's best friend.I do love broody hen's behaviour, they are so cute
Amelia learned it first hand, she definitely do not think it funny like I do.Tell that to Amelia, Astrid's best friend.
Normally Astrid doesn't mind the hens around her chicks. I have learned today that those rules do not apply when the chicks are this young. Amelia wasn't paying any attention whatsoever to the chicks in the coop and Astrid just about took her head off! That girl is a force to be reckoned with when she wants you away from her chicks.
