RubyTex 1,957 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 My light sussex hen has decided to go broody, but she's only sitting on two eggs? Is this normal? I tried to turf her out of the nest and got a lot of clucking and pecking, i thought they needed a good clutch (6-10) of eggs before sitting?? First time i've had a hen go broody Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moll. 1,769 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 They can go broody on air alone 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RubyTex 1,957 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Cheers Moll, just thought they had to build up a decent clutch before sitting. She's still sat, i lifted her off and she laid on the floor, had a drink then jumped back in the box. Oh well, chuffed!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
