Good morning,
I have joined with the hope of gaining more knowledge in regards to my Chickens.
I have 6 Chickens and 1 Rooster.
I have had chicken a few years ago but not a Rooster. I noticed yesterday that one of my chickens was on her own in the laying box.
When I went to collect the eggs she puffed up and made a funny noise. I noticed that she has lost some feathers on the back of her neck.
Does this behavior mean she is brooding?
She was off the nest earlier this morning so I took the brown eggs from the nest. When I went back to check on her she wasnt laying on the white eggs that I left.
If she is brooding, how do I keep her calm and healthy so she can do what needs to be done so the eggs hatch?
Thank you
