After only 6 weeks I think I may have a broody chicken!!

Recommended Posts

Sophie (my Speckelady) is going broody I think. I have 5 chickens and they all lay before 11am in the morning. I have two nesting boxes and Sophie is taking over one of them. The other 4 hens lay in nesting box 2 so when they have finished I turf Sophie out of hers but she would stay there all day. I then shut both of the nesting boxes up for the day and night. She is fine once she can't get into a nesting box and carries on as normal with the others. In the morning I let them out and open the nesting boxes again and the whole procedure is repeated!!! How long will this go on for. I am relucant to separate her from the rest of the flock but all she wants to do is to get into the nesting box and stay there!!!
