Been in the mid- and upper-90s. So...yeah, it's been hot. But she's definitely broody. When I've pulled her out of the coop, she tries to run back in. Put her outside the run, she paces the fence trying to get back to her wooden egg. Or yesterday, to nothing. Because I took the egg out. Hahahaha...

For those who are interested (and this may only be me - haha!), one of my 8-week-old chicks is a rooster. Anyway, this morning, I heard a bizarre sound outside. Thought one of the big girls was struggling to get an egg out or had been smoking menthols. Looked outside and watched until I heard it again, only to see it was that little rooster trying out his crow. It was hilariously wimpy. Here's hoping it remains so! Hahaha... If I think of it, I'll try to record it next time he goes at it, so we can all have a chuckle at his expense.

they all sound pathetic when they start poor things, kind of like they are being strangled

If she is still broody, let her set some eggs. Its pretty cool when it works.
