Hello! Popping in and trying to catch up. Also wanted to share that my two broodies are still at it. Millie is in her fourth week! I think she might have given it up if Flo hadn’t gone broody.

Flo acts like a total nutter and MUST be in the same tiny nest box as Millie, no matter how hot it is. Some days I fear she’ll almost suffocate Millie. Flo also seems to be losing condition. So as much as I HATE doing this, I am breaking her broodiness for both her sake and Millie’s. Poor thing. It really hurts my feelings for her, but I’ll be taking two separate four day weekends away in August and don’t want to risk a death by broodiness.

I am hoping Millie will also stop once Flo does, but she seems to still be eating ok. I did move her up to a roost after dark tonight. What is the longest anyone has hen sit?

Wish us luck!

I get it. If I were away while hens were brooding I'd worry about them non-stop.

Peggy sat for 30ish days last summer and extremely easy to dissuade by then! She was over it
