snailsandchickens Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I have a red hen who is sitting in the box for ages not really coming out and when i go to check her she gets all fluffy and makes a sweet sound but a bit like a raptor if you catch my drift if she is broody how long will it last can i move her into a different run and get some eggs for her to sit on? if you could tell me the signs that would be super helpful x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snailsandchickens Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 What do I do if I do get her to hatch chicks with any cockerels as I can't have them as I live in a terrace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
