AussieChick Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Our hens have been with us for about 6 weeks and Harry-ette has been acting a little strange this morning! What are the first signs of broodiness and what can I do to nip it in the bud if that is the problem? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Is she laying yet? If not she could be coming into lay. I doubt she's broody if there's no eggs around. However, to answer you question the offending chook with clamp herself onto the nest, flatting her body like a pancake and growl when you go near her. Quite often you'll find loose feathers around the nest box too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
