Hi everyone,
Can anyone tell me why a hen would just sit as if she was hatching or laying an egg all day long? I have this hen that has been sitting in a corner of our chicken house since Thurs. I have no idea if she is getting up to eat or drink. She doesnt look dehydrated or anything. I have tried to coax her with grapes (her favorite) and she wont get up. When I approach her she will puff her feathers and like growl at me...LOL..but she is definatley telling me to stay away. Also this hen will collect the other hens eggs and sit on them. Advice to this behavior is welcome..PLEASE! Should I be concerned she has an egg stuck?
