My serama hens for some reason love to go broody together in one nesting box. I’ll have 7 or 8 of these smooshy adorable broodies all making the same noises in a chorus. I adore it!
Amazing rhat she doesn't bite. When we had hens many years ago, we had a Silkie, who frequently went broody. She turned into a small velociraptor when we took the eggs.
I raise chickens myself,and have for about 3 years now and counting.And for those of you who wonder why she took her out of her nest,broody hens are extremely devoted girls,they only get off their nests once a day while broody to eat,drink, and poop,then they go right back onto the nest,obviously over time this can take a toll on a hens health,and for her own health and safety we farmers have to remove them off their nests so they can remain healthy.
Some of the craziest encounters of my life have been broody hens. We have a few who seem to go broody constantly, some of them so stubborn that theyll sit there for upwards of two months despite our best efforts to break the brood. Those ladies are nuts. Ive had hens get so upset at me taking the eggs away that they chase and attack me. Of course theyre also the ones who are horrendous mothers so we cant let them have the babies they want 🙄
