[mili137]

Hello guys i just relased my chickens and rooster to a free range and i noticed that a hen was staying alone what could it be?is there a problem? or is she going to become broody

If it's their first time out maybe she just nervous.

Broody hens don't stay alone unless they're inside the lay box.

Where is she staying alone at? What is her posture and age? Is she eating and pooping?

Hopefully it isn't a problem.

Are you able to approach her? Does she have a hidden nest in that field or usually lay in the box? How long have you had them? Is she clucking or puff up and scream at you when you do approach? Are you able to post a pic?

Some of my hens like to wander off on their own. They can get very adventurous. I have 4 roosters, so they are constantly trying to keep up with the girls as they wander off in different directions..

she is so calm and no there isnt a nest and she isnt clucking

but maybe it could be a brooder because she never didnt go brooder since i got it

She doesn't look ill. Is she acting tired?

But you need to treat for scaly leg mite unless you've already done so and the old scales just haven't fallen off yet.

i relased my chickens and rooster and i saw her going on a place and she just sat down and was staying there for a moment a rooster came to mount her then she started runing and went to my rooster than she took that place in pic and she disnt move at all that much. the thing that worries me is that she is very active and never stops moving
she is the boss of hens
