what should I feed my broody hen?
« on: April 29, 2012, 10:56 »
My Orpington has been set on her eggs for 2 days but had already been broody and sitting for a week or so. Initially she would come out to feed and drink when I went out twice a day then remained stationary and I had to lift!

I am still having to lift her twice a day but my question is should I feed her any differently? I usually feed her layers with some mixed corn. They get alot of veg/garden scraps and hanging veg but I'm not sure what to do for the best thanks.

keep her on her normal feed until the chicks hatch then feed her on chick crumb so she can then teach her little ones how to eat  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.
