Granny's gone and done it again

chicory grows wild here. I thought about trying it.

We had four hens in that pen with a rooster just fine, then suddenly the hens all started looking ragged and going broody. I bought saddles and put one on one. She never went broody again, but two of the others did. You'd put them back after a week and they'd still put their wings out and walk around clucking like they had chicks following them or something. I switched roosters and voila, like magic, they stood up and stopped their act.

And yes, they still pluck. I even took them to an avian vet an hour away to try figure out why. I did every trick in the book.
Did you try feeding parrot pellets instead of seed?

They were on Harrison's pellets for three years. An avian vet suggested to try that. It's very expensive but we wanted to give it a shot. It grew feathers faster but they'd both pluck them anyway. They've been on Roudybush pellets since then, like 10 years.

They have no seed here, but if they go outside in the aviary, I give them a large bowl of whole nuts.
