Yesterday my Sumatra hen went broody!
She usually is in and out of the nest box very quickly, but yesterday she took her time. I eventually decided I needed to get the egg since I have no rooster. She growled and pecked, but I got it from underneath her. She then promptly left after realizing the egg was gone.
Today she was sitting on my Polish's egg! She must really want chicks
I told her they weren't going to hatch, but she kept staring at me with a blank expression.
If she does it again, I'll make sure to take pictures!
