I've had my chickens for about a year and a half now and only have one remaining after getting rid of the roosters and one of my two remaining hens was killed by a dog last week (NOT by my dog in my profile picture). Now I only have one silky hen left. Since the incident last week she has become extremely broody and will only come out of the coop a few minutes a day, when before, she was out practically all day with the other hen. I've taken away most of her eggs but I have left her a couple because I feel bad taking all of her eggs from her since she has no friends left or any other chickens to socialize with right now. (I know that may sound crazy lol, but I feel like that's all she has left right now). Anyway my question is, are chickens really that social and do you think she would be happier if I introduce her to another hen and then take away her eggs? Thanks for any suggestions.
