What do I do?

[DUCKGIRL89]

My OLD black star hen has gone broody, so I put three duck eggs under her. But what do I do with a broody hen? Do I need to do something speical?

Thanks!

BTW this hen is no longer laying eggs.

Alot of it is personal preference. I like to go ahead and get mine moved and in a secure place from the first. I watch them and if I have a broody that doesn't get off the nest to take care of her business I pick her up at least every other day so she will go poop. I always make sure they have food & water close at hand. Good luck!

Ok, thanks. I also bought her some dried meal worms as a snack. I hope she'll like em.
