SeramaSilly Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I've had my broody serama in the broody cage for three days and nights. I took her out this morning and straightaway she headed for the nestbox and squawked at me when I pulled her out! I've put her back in the cage but do you think I should let her free-range this afternoon otherwise I'm scared she's going to lose the use of her legs!! :-0 xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 give her the afternoon off, then pop her in again. It is very warm right now and it just encourages them to go broody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Almost the exact same thing hapenned with my Wyandotte bantam Penny. But when I picked her out of the nest box and shut the Cube, after a few times of trying to get in she gave up and went off with the others. I did block the nest box overnight to make sure she perched with the others, and then she was fine. On a separate note, this was a couple of weeks ago, and I am now concerned that she's started laying somewhere I can't find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeramaSilly Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Thanks Clare and Jenny! I let her free-range yesterday afternoon and then popped her back in broody jail. God she's so nasty with the others at the moment, I think they were all relieved when I 'incarcerated' her again! :-0 She needs to hurry up because I have another who is definitely 'thinking' about being broody too!! Jenny, I'm doing the hunt the egg too!! One of my seramas never lays in the nest box - she will literally lay anywhere and everywhere and she doesn't even do an egg announcement. :-0 xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
