Newbie getting broody hen some eggs

[kaylakala]

Okay do I leave her with the flock or put her seperate? I have a couple of ultra bossy hens in my group.

I've seen them peck at my broody girl several times already.

If they're bugging her already I would move her. Just be aware that she may get off the nest if she's moved. Mine doesn't care where I put her though.

LOL I brought her in the house with her nest. I took her off quickly replaced the eggs with golf balls and she jumped back in and I took her right back ouside.
I was also checking her for injury.I'd never dealt with a broody hen before

 

[KellyHM]

You gave her golf balls? Or eggs?

 

[kaylakala]

Eggs are coming in the mail

I see. Good luck! My broody just had 4 of hers hatch today!

That's good news!!

I go 6. Maybe I should have gotten less. I'm not too sure on how many usually survive.

Oh well!!!
