Misapp Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I was wondering if anyone had experienced the same thing as us or if anyone has any advice. We have 4 girls who all seem healthy but one of them doesn't come out of the nesting box. She's always slept in there anyway but now very rarely comes out at all even when the other girls are free ranging. Like I said she seems healthy but is starting to worry me anyone got any ideas?

Beantree Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Is she being bullied or is she simply broody Misapp? You need to check her over for general condition and look for lice or mites which can multiply rapidly when a hen is allowed to sleep in a nest box.

Mar1a Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 What happens when you try to evict her from the nest box? When mine went cuckoo broody, she was getting more and more aggressive when either of us or even the other chooks went anywhere near the nest box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
