is Oprah being broody?

[sbicheidi]

Hi, my black Australorp is being broody, I think? She is laying but spending a lot of time in the box. She is making very prehistoric, dinosaur sounds on the nest and puffing up all her feathers to look scary. I made her get out, and she is being big and puffy, all her feathers standing up...she looks more like a turkey. Is this broody behavior?

She has no parasites that I can see, which I wondered about too because she is shaking herself a lot, making her even puffier. And all the other girls want to pick on her for some reason.

She looks good, is eating, drinking, color good...thoughts? I've had a broody hen before, but this seems different to me.

I pictured Ms Winfrey getting angry and territorial about her stage......

I think your Oprah sound broody. Do you think you'll try to hatch or break the broodiness?

She sounds broody to me. Are your eggs fertile? If so, you could give her a few to hatch.
