Hii guys!
I would plz like some help about my chicken - she has bumblefoot and whilst I was treating it - I noticed her belly was naked?
This girl is far my most broody hen I got (she's not broody atm but I'm sure she will be soon) so I'm assuming that's a reason(like she plucked her self too much and she can't grow it back)
I thought about waterbelly but it's not swollen nor squidhy

Yep! Mine did it too!
She very carefully placed a feather between each egg…. Which left her belly looking like this:

Awh silly girl! 🩷🥺 Must be a good mum. Next time my girl goes broody I'll buy her half a dozen eggs to sit on cuz she's confirmed a good mother.
I also really like to let them sit on fake eggs, then give them chicks. That way, you don’t have to deal with all the boys!😉😉
