    Broody Turkey hen questions

    I have a broody Turkey who has eggs due to hatch any day now, she’s been sitting for 21+ days, the eggs are hers, and I gave them to her at roughly 5-7 days into incubation. One has internally pipped yesterday, but no pip yet. She’s been a great broody, but I have my worries about her still...

    Broody hen stopped eating

    Why is my broody (or previously broody) hen following me?

    My hen, Tiffany, who I had a very close bond with prior to her becoming broody, is now following me around my yard. She still pecks me when I try to pet her, but she’s following me everywhere. She recently had a clutch of 7 eggs from which I only 1 chick survived hatching. I pulled this chick...
