First egg! + Broodiness

[kingchickies]

Beginning stages of broodiness, but not full-blown yet. Some hens will toy with the idea of going broody, but the hormones never kick in enough for them to fully brood. Some will only sit for a week or two, go back to laying, only to start the partial brooding cycle over again. It's rare for pullets under a year to go fully broody, but it's very common for pullets of broody-prone breeds to go partially broody in their first season of laying.

Thank you. She was out and about this morning, went in the coop to her spot. I told myself if she was still there at noon I was going to run her out. Went back in there... egg and she wasn't there! Yay!! I guess she changed her mind. Lol
