My first chickens have just started laying these last few weeks. I wonder if there is a post somewhere on broody behavior. One of my New Hampshires is spending a lot of her time in the nest box. It might be she is having trouble laying one of her double-yolk eggs, but I also saw her on the coop floor when all others were out free-ranging, picking up bedding and throwing it over her shoulder. Hadn't seen that from any of them before. Also, is there a post on breaking broody behavior when it does occur (if you don't want it).
