Our chicken has been sat on hte nest for most of the day. Somehow or other, hte other 2 have also managed to lay eggs there. We pushed/poked her with an oven glove till she got off. We then removed the 3 eggs. She went and did a massive poo had a nice drink & a lot of oats, before going straight back to the nest.

 

Is she broody? Or might she be ill?

 

When she was outside she was walking alright & she hasn't been bad recently.

When we poked her she made a few cross sounds but otherwise she's been normal.

 

Thanks in advance

 

p.s. If she is broody what is the best advice?

She does sound broody! I'm between a dunk in a cold bucket of water and a lockout for one of mine - off to post a thread!
