Broody Hens Can Feather Pick

Broody hens can feather pick when they are sitting on the nest so don’t be alarmed. They will sometimes pluck the feathers from their breast to line the nest and also to transfer their body heat to the egg more efficiently.
I have recently set up a forum all about hens and chickens which is free to join. so if you have any question about chickens and hens or you just want to chat about your hens then register today http://farmingfriends.com/forums/forum.php?id=8
