Have a tricky question!!!

[MasterOfAllChickens111]

Can a chicken go Broody when they are molting? I know they can’t lay when they are molting but can they go Broody?

No, both require energy reserves. This time of year birds can be missing feathers, or be plucking them out themselves like on the chest if they are broody.
