My one year old hen won't leave the box. She has no eggs to sit on because they roll back for collection. She is a Black Sex-Link and was the first of my hens to lay. She seems alert and not sick.
Will they exhibit broody behavior at a certain age? Certain time of year? Even without an egg to sit on or a rooster?
She made an unusual noise (growl?) when I raised the roof of the coop and checked on her. Will she stop doing this soon?
I am hoping that this is the problem and she isn't egg bound.
Thanks for any feedback
