Thank you! Arent chickens amazing!Oh yes they can!!
My broody hen wasn't even sitting on eggs and she still pulled out her feathers, they don't care if they have eggs or not they are trying to prepare their nests for babies.
From what I've read the hen that is broody creates a sort of heat pouch which is a square where they have picked out their feathers and it is just skin for the chicks to snuggle up to! Then they use those feathers for their nest!I've never heard of the hen plucking herself
Broody hens are bare skinned where eggs make contact from my knowledge. They pull the fine feathers and they wind up here there.... and pretty much all over.I've never heard of the hen plucking herself

They never picked out their feathers when they were broody???My hens never pluck themselves or use feather for their nests unless the feathers are already there
