Here we go again. Stella is broody for the 3rd time since April! She hasn’t successfully sat for 21 days yet! She does, however, get more fierce looking each time!

Re: Brewwwwwdyyyyyyyy
I was attacked by an Ameraucana broody this morning....full fledged rooster type attack and she wouldn't give up, never hatched anything... ever.... these "theoretical" mothers must be the worst ?

Re: Brewwwwwdyyyyyyyy
Stella only looks fierce. She’s a big pussy cat and screams and runs the other way if anybody makes a move for her. I feel bad for her. Her last time she sat on nothing for 2 weeks and then gave up as quickly as she started. She snapped out of it maybe 3 weeks ago then without warning just jumped right back into the nesting box again. I pull her out 3 times a day and keep an eye on her condition.
