I have a 1.5 year old Red Sex Link who has gone broody and that is putting it mildly, lol.......she refuses to leave the house, and yesterday , she took it upon herself to fly to the top of the nesting boxes and SAT THERE for HOURS. With the lid closed. She just sat there. All fluffed up and mad as a ....never mind.....
I have a friend who has had chickens, who has told me to just leave her alone, she will know when to come back to her senses...she has stopped laying her eggs the past 2 days...and she really doesn't want to come out of the house to even eat and drink...we are in the high 90's here, NC. I have been hauling her out, she is not happy, but am I wrong? She won't be hatching eggs...we have no roos, and I have 8 newbies who are almost 3 months old....they are in their own coop/area.....
