So, Sarah. I think I might have a hen going broody. She sat on the eggs for the latter part of the afternoon, when I tried to get them, she puffed up and growled, but did not peck me, her chest looks a bit barer than usual, and she was sleeping on then eggs when I closed them up. Whaddya think?

If she is indeed broody, is it OK if I leave her in the coop with everybody else until next week?

Hehe, I believe it!!

Anywhere from hiding in bushes to doing another one of my creepy Irish jigs, no one's ever safe around Sarah.

You there!

I is here.

1. She's in the earliest stage of broodiness. Make sure she's still faithfully in the box for a few days at least before confirming her broody.
2. That depends. Do you want to have her hatch the eggs in the regular coop or will you be moving her to a brooder coop?

Awesome, she better stick to this. How many eggs can a Speckled Sussex comfortably manage?

I have a brooder coop (kinda) and she will raise chicks in there if she hatches them, but I'm going out of town for the weekend, so I'm thinking when I get back on Tuesday, if she is still sticking to it, I'll move her Tuesday night. Sound like a plan?
