JB09 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi everyone, My has half heartedly been broody twice in the last three weeks. I thought it was rare of this breed to go broody... is this correct? Also when this happens she is very on edge and does not lay for about a week. Her behaviour changes and she will not let me near her. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again or is it just a force or nature that is out of my hands!? Thanks guys JB x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I've had a Miss Pepperpot go broody on me a couple of times. Sounds as if she can't make her mind up. Article about managing broody hens **here**. The dog crate method works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB09 Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thanks Egluntine... That is what I was thinking. She seems to have gone back to normal (for now) I think if it happens again I will have to resort to the cage method! JB x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
