Hen making weird noises

[chickchicklife]

I have a silver duckwing OEG bantam hen who has started laying her eggs again and for the past 3 days she has been making the noise that mama hens make when calling their chicks for food, is this normal ?

Is she fluffed up and broody?

Is she fluffed up and broody?

yes she is fluffed up, idk if she is broody, I have a mama hen who acted the same way as her but not sure if she really is broody

You will notice when she stays on the nest at night instead of roosting with the other chickens.

If you want to prevent thats she’s getting broody. Make sure she doesn’t stay in the nest in the evening. Put her on a roost bar as long as needed. This works with my chickens which are not to difficult to break as broodies.

She might be partially broody so you'll need to keep an eye on her behavior to see which way she goes.
