Okay, so after having
chickens for almost a year I am slowly learning about them. But how do you deal
with a clucky chicken? Fat Girl wants a baby.
Our Sussex had not
layed an egg for almost three weeks. But she will not move out of the laying
box, she sits all day on the other chocks eggs. If I pick her up to move her
out, to make sure she eats or to clean the box she goes crazy, flapping her
wings and clucking so loud. She will not calm down until I put her pack in on
top of an egg, or eggs.
Now with no men in her life,
there is no way she, or the other girls, will have fertilised eggs. I do know it
is normal for them to get broody in the warmer months.
It was hard enough to
convince myself I was not having any more children, so how do I get Fat Girl to
face the fact that she is not going to be a Mum?
