What is a broody hen?

[ChickenGirl555]

Yorkshire's link is very helpful, too, if you decide to have chicks. Basically, everything I just said came from me reading that article.

A broody hen is a normal hen who has turned into a single-minded egg-hoarding monster.

She also demonstrates her kinship to the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Thank you all so much for the replies. I’ll keep an eye out for any signs of them being broody!
