I have 4 hens, they are all laying, but I have one that acts broody. I don't have a rooster, and I may be naive, but figured I would need one in order for my hens to act like this. She sits on the nest, which has one egg. She comes out rarely to eat or drink and roam a bit and then right back in. The other 3 hens seem to be picking on her. When she does come out, they chase her away from the food and water. Never had this issue among them before. This has been going on for a week. I'm not sure whether to take the egg or not. I've had these hens for about a year.
