This is one of the first videos I ever made. It's terrible quality! Everyone has to start somewhere. And, yet it still gets so many views. I definitely should do a new broody hen video!
Had hens hatch eggs with the whole flock for 20 years never had any issues with other hens laying eggs on top of other eggs but we always have one box per hen.
It usually happens to the roosters favorites. We have chicken saddles we can sew or buy that can help with it. I had the same issue and due to lack of $ I been sewing some "chicken saddles"
My hen is not protective but sitted on a long time so am very confused if its broody and one of my hens ate there own eggs and idk why cuz my other chicken wont let her eat or drink so idk if he ate it or not so am confused
I think i have a broody hen she sits on egges almost all day she's not laying and even when i try to move her or elsse she won't get up i think she started yestrday the prob is that she didn't sleep on the egges last night did the egges go bad already or what and why she didn't sleep in the nest ps my hen didn't really have that reaction when i get near her but she won't move my question is why she didn't sleep in the nest and did the egges go bad ?
Friendly Young chicken moved in 8 months ago. Got 4 months eggs no issues, now she will not come out of nest box or eat. Not sure what to do, if anything. I believe she needs other chickens that I don't have.
Watch her all day. I guarantee you she's getting up off for at least 2 hours to eat and poop. Then right back on the eggs. My current broody hen likes to come out in the afternoon. Whatever you do. Don't put food and water right next the nest. The hen needs to get up.
@@meoff7602 I found her a new home. I didn't have time to give what she needed. My huge garage shop was a barn to her and she was mad whenever I said no about going on work bench or putting eggs in odd places when she has many nest
@@meoff7602 This chicken was like my best friend. I live alone on large estate with feral cat that came from yard creek 8 yrs ago, For 8 months chicken followed me all around yard, and I'd always find her yummy critter to eat.

“Today we’re gonna learn how to identify a broody hen”
The rooster: “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

I once had a big ol Rhode island red hen named Big Mama, and I named her that cause she was ALWAYS broody
Very informative Miss...thanks

Aww that's a mean rooster, he's pulling out the hen's feathers

I have my rooster and chicken seperate in cases is there a certain time I should put em together so they can breed
They can stay together all of the time. Once bred by a rooster, a hen will lay fertile eggs for about 2 weeks.

If you isn't sleeping on the eggs, they will go bad.

However, if you only got one chicken. Please, get her at least one more. They are flock creatures.

@@libertyfox7486 That's good to hear. I wasn't trying to be mean. I just ❤️ chickens.

I have issues with 2 of my girls acting broody but they keep switching boxes. Does anybody have any thoughts about that?
Your country
The black hen is not an orpington she is an astrollorp
Australorps are orpingtons. Full name is Black Australian Orpington.
Whats the orp in astrollorp?
You have other hens with bald backs
Too much attention from the rooster.
