coco Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Why do chickens go broody in pairs, Fizz and Pipa have both gone broody today and are sitting in opposite nest boxes. At least they will be company for each other in the broody cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimnpaula Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Maybe they both think, "well it must be a good time for raising chicks seeing as she's broody too." P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffy chick Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 2 of mine are broody too! I thought the same thing at least they have company! There are 2 nesting boxes but they choose to nest together most of the time! Nowt as queer as chickens lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffy chick Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Actually, make that 3 !!! I think it's catching! I keep kicking them out the nest and they'll eat and drink and go straight back in. If I shut them our they (well bramble) kicks off and I worry about the neighbours complaining! so I'm just hoping they get over it quickly. My friend wants to give me fertile eggs (don't tempt me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
