Does anyone know why my hen, who has been broody for the first time, has suddenly abandoned her nest of eggs? They were approximately a week or less from hatching. She's been diligent about setting, except for to get a bite to eat & to get a drink, however, last night when I went out to lock...
My chickens have a fenced yard that they dwell in freely every day, but I also let them free range outside of that yard (which is quite large) when I am home & running in & out... mainly so that I can run them back in if they get outside of my property. I agree with the others, that's just a...
