Chicken not moving

[Brady bunch]

Our one chicken has been sitting in the nest box for 9 hours now and she has not been moving. I saw he move once and that was like a blink of an eye. I just don’t know what to do. I have never seen any of my chickens do this. I don’t know if anything might be wrong without her?
Thanks in advance!!!

This is how she has been sitting.

She is possibly broody. Does she fluff up?? Growl or make noise when you are invading her space? When you remove her is she fluffed up? Run back into the nest?

She is very fluffy how do I remove her? Do they attack people when they are broody?

Put gloves on if you are worried. Toss her into the run. If she’s broody, she’ll run around like mad getting a drink, eating, dust bath and drop a huge turd, then she’ll go back to her nest.

I even poked her with a piece of straw and she didn’t move a muscle. I don’t know if that is good or not.

She is now clucking at me I will get some gloves and I will post when I have an update

Sure sounds broody, and you are safe from attack.

Don't worry, she just wants to hatch out some eggs into baby chicks! She wants to raise a "brood" of chicks, that's why it's called being broody. She's just thinking real hard about the babies she's going to have in about 21 days, if you let her.

If you want chicks, set aside some eggs at room temp until you have as many as you want, say 8 to 10. Don't wash or refrigerate them. Turn them two or three times a day. When you have enough, but in about a week, mark them somehow and put them under her. Mark your calendar. Every day check under her and take away any new eggs.

Keep us posted and someone will tell you what to do as the day draws near!

Oh, and she's not likely to hurt you. Lift her gently with one arm (wear a glove if you're nervous) and feel around under her to check for eggs.

She sure looks broody to me! Do you have a rooster? If not, the eggs aren't fertile and brooding isn't going to work. If you do want chicks and have no rooster, you can get her some fertile hatching eggs and she'll never know they're not hers!
