I'm cheating using the on screen keyboard with my good hand

I popped my wrist and then every time i moved it cracked and then pain set in the hospital nurses were poopheads and they did an xray about 30 mins later the doc came in and said i have a pinched nerve and a strain. they put a splint on and said if it still hurts go back in 70 hours but we are going to see my doc on monday

Broody hens will pluck their belly feathers to allow her skin to directly warm the eggs.

shes not sitting in the box anymore

Well it could be a couple things really, you previously mentioned a perch that she sleeps, is it a bar or something flat? It could be rubbing the feathers off at night. The other thing is possibly molting, are any of the other ones losing feathers? I didnt think they usually started on their stomachs though. Any kind of sitting she does could contribute, does she lay a lot of eggs 'cause all my top producers are a little feather worn. And then there is still the possibility that she could go broody again. As you can probably tell the short answer is I don't really know lol but we can probably figure it out.
