One of my rhode island reds is broody. I discovered just now. She is sitting in a nest box all poofed out and she sort of growls at me for getting too close. I have always wanted one of my hens to go broody but now what do I do? I imagine the three week wait is going to kill me. I have a rooster. Will he hurt the new babies? I need any information I can get about what I need to do.
