Hello everyone,
I sincerely hope I can get some help with this. My 1 1/2 yr old golden comet has been broody (at least I think she is) for a little over 3 weeks. We do not have a rooster,so no hope of these hatching,she growls when I open the coop doors and puffs up big, I have to take her off the nest to push her out the pop door and make her go out to eat and drink,I guess she is getting off to poop. When she gets forced outside she has a very strange clucky noise that she makes and darts eratically around the run until i get done collecting the eggs and then when I am done she runs back in the coop and all is quiet. From what we have seen though she allows the other girls into the nest box,they lay and she sits. We have 6 girls total and 2 nest boxes, my husband removed the one she was in thinking it might break her of it,but she just moved to the other one. I was just wondering what can be done about this,I am scared for her health. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
