First make sure she's actually broody, some birds like to lounge in the nest,Princess Fluffy Butt has stopped laying and gone broody. Shes only 5 months and had recently started laying. No eggs to sit on, but that doesn't bother her. Any suggestions to get her laying again?
Ok! This is my Cuckoo...
Into the breaker with her!!Yup. Has been in there for about 6 days now. Gets angry and literally scream when we open box to gather other eggs
Hi! I don't know very much about this, as I haven't had a hen go broody yet. I have heard sometimes setting them in cold water helps to break them from the broodiness, but I don't know if it works. Maybe make sure she has access to calcium such as oyster shells or egg shells? I don't know if I can help you very much with this lol. I'm sure you will get good answers though.
But on the other hand, would you mind posting a picture of what your cuckoo marans looks like? We recently got some chicks at our feed store and don't know if they are barred rocks or cuckoo marans, so I would be curious to know what yours look like! If you can't that's fine, I was just curious.
My cuckoo Fajita is 27w and not laying. Bummer. View attachment 1156772 View attachment 1156773
