If possible please ensure your  house sitter your broody girl off her nest at least once a day. Hopefully your house sitter is a brave person because a broody can go from looking like a pancake to a football and will chose to have  fight with a feather. However just remember r this is a chicken and it cannot do you any real harm ...you will not be hospitalised. The broody needs to move off the nest to eat and drink and er hum as well. The can starve themselves to death.

I will make sure she does, she should be fine! Luckily no aggression only reluctance, but might be because it's me and I hand reared her from day 1. The only evidence is my other female starts the night off upstairs and ends up asleep downstairs in the morning! Bless her! Just pleased it's nothing tooo awful and something I'll get used to! Thanks so much for your support makes my hospital trip slightly less daunting!!
