I have a 3 1/2yr. old hen, BO. went broody last fall, sat for almost 2 months finally hatched 1 chick. found out later we had some parasites and cocci. Have medicated 3times for both got a clean bill of health from the vet. All look good but the 1 BO. hen She is skin & bone. eats and drinks well. If I bring her scrambled egg or any special treat, she eats like she is starving. but does not gain weight. any suggestions on what the problem may be?
Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
