We are all still in the process of learning.

We are. I know better now but there are many things I regret from my chickens journey. Overall I feel I have done more good than bad but still I could have been smarter and better along the way.

I have one hen, an Orpington, who is a serial broody. She is broody now and it will be three weeks on Friday. I see no signs that she is planning on stopping.
Do you find that your hens eventually stop on their own? I wonder at what point I should intervene, if ever.

My Orpington is also a serial broody. She just hit day 28 so i am more actively trying to get her up. Usually she will start coming out in her own for longer and longer, but this first sitting of the year she is being extra stubborn. I am hoping to get her chicks this summer, so i want her in her best health.

Sounds like a good plan.

I would love to let Penny hatch or adopt chicks someday, but since the hens live out their life cycle with us, I do have to be careful of numbers.

Good luck with your broody!

Good grief! I hadn’t fully appreciated her size. Wow.

Her stonking proportions aside, that's a wonderful photo. They're connecting with one another. Physically and mindfully.
