New to backyard chickens

[DobieLover]

I let her out of broody jail this morning and so far so good. Here is her picture

Yes I saw that. She needs to go back in after her bath. She's still broody. Hey entire body language screams "BACK OFF". She's not done yet.

I was thinking the same thing, and one day does not break a broody, more like four or five days; however, maybe there are exceptions.

Leave her in there day and night for 3 days. About an hour before roost time on the third day you can take her out and see if she roosts. If she does then she broke. If she goes back to the box put her back in the crate for another night and try again the next evening.

Hello and

You have come to the right place and glad you join us at BYC community here.

Broody hen is so cute, and could be troublesome when the house is full so can not fit anymore cute baby chicks.

All the best.

The members are giving good advice. I don't know but would like to have 1 hen that would be broody. Then, I do have an incubator.
