Hi. I don't raise chickens so I'm completely inexperience as to what's happening. Through reading, I've gathered that this hen which we found hiding in the back of our house is brooding. Sometimes the chickens from other houses come to our house and hang out. We've always welcomed them but keep our distance not to scare them off.
We decided to let her continue her process and hopefully adopt some chicks too.
Today we put some food and water near her because didn't seem to move since yesterday but today in the afternoon she started moving the eggs out from under her and it's quite a few so I got worried. Maybe my interference caused a bad reaction. Here are some pics and the change from yesterday to today. I read from your site (thanks by the way) that some people tuck the eggs back under but since she doesn't know me, she might not like me touching her. She doesn't growl of anything just looks at me. From what I see these chickens roam free, no coop or anything so they may not be very trusting of people. What do you suggest?
Thank you in advance & Happy New Year
