ok, not a hen and not a strange place, but here is a pic of my tom turkey that went broody on me this summer. He decided to try to brood some eggs when the hens stopped.

That's cool! Did your tom get them all the way to hatching?

My hen decided to make a nest and hatch out chicks under a pallet. I put the plastic thing on top to try to keep out the rain.

I'm surprised you were able to find her!

That was her usual egg spot. One day I went to get eggs and she was broody so I let her be. She hatched out 5 chicks and is doing a pretty good job raising them.

That's a girl that appreciates her privacy. Congrats on the chicks!
