She is just one of our red sex-links that we got this spring for egg production. I noticed she is always sitting in the nest boxes on eggs, and I didn't really care too much till recently. I tried putting her in a bit of water to try and break her of the habit, but then noticed she still went in and sat, even wet. So I took her back out and realized she is getting picked on quite a bit. During feeding time I observed, and she was ran off by more then a few other birds. her feathers on her neck aren't flat anymore from the other birds so I took her out and decided I would try her at brooding. I made her a pen in a rabbit hutch just out side the house, she can see my other chicken flock, set her up with some feed and water, went and collected some eggs from my free rangers put them in a rabbit nest box and with in seconds she was in and sitting, and 24 hours later she hasn't moved at all. So I hope it works. And yes I'm so impatient lol

Nice hope it works out for you my cochin bantam was like that,always getting picked on until a removed her to her own pen after that she went broody and hathced out like 13 chicks was pretty fun to see.Going to candle tommorow hoping for the best.

How many eggs can a broody hen keep under her? I only put under ten, but thinking next time, how many can they actually sit on with out it effecting them.
