Snowy Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Sometimes they will do that f they get too hot. Is she going broody, or just spending lots of time in the nest box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I was wondering if she's broody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerbluebadger Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 She sleeps in the nest box and loves to make her nest when I clean out the nest box - should I spray her with violet spary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 That's probably it then she's probably getting warm and loosing feathers through sleeping in the nestbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
