But not in the way you’d expect. One of my cuckoo marans has been broody for over two weeks now. Every day I’ve been moving her out of the nest box and blocking her from returning. She would hang out in the nice big orchard with food and water with two other broody hens (!) and my buff Orpington mama all day. Then the other two got better, so I just gave up a couple days ago and let her sit in the box except to sleep. Today I set up the brooder box on the floor in the coop and put Barbara in it and bought a couple chicks to sneak under her tonight. Just now, when I went out to change out some aprons on my roosters favorites, Barbara demanded to be let out of the brooder box and FLEW UP ONTO THE ROOST.
