Hi everyone!
I have 5 bantam hens with a roo. 1 of the girls is older than the others and laying eggs. Usually she's very accepting with the roo mounts her and she's mostly by his side in the run, but the last couple of days she has been clucking and arching her wings when he comes anywhere near her. She did sit on the nest box yesterday for a fair while until I moved her off. Could this be because she is broody? It's causing a little disruption as the roo will chase her. Any advice or help greatly appreciated xx
