If they keep flying up into quiet places searching for a place.
If they make very annoying sounds as if they angry.
If the hen has eggs, she is trying to protect them.
Hens will not sit on eggs unless they are "broody" - which is when they are actively attempting to incubate a nest. Hens will not just sit on every egg they lay.
Every single breed of hen (even mix) will sit on their eggs when they feel like they want chickens. One of the hens that brood alot are brahma hens.
It's a maternal instinct - in the wild hens / birds sit on their eggs to keep them warm grow into chicks and hatch. Most eggs now are unfertilised but the hen retains the maternal instinct to sit on them anyway.
on sitting on them Hens on a farm lay eggs into straw and the hens sit on the eggs until they hatch. Hens in large chicken farms do get to have such a luxury. The chickens' eggs are kept under heat until they hatch.
When hens are broody they are not 'themselves'. Try taking her off the nest and putting her in a cage, somewhere she is isolated from the other hens and also where there is no nesting box. That always works well for my hens.
if he still loves you carmly sit down and tell your friend he is trying to get back at you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so then they can make love with there babies and be like Emily
No, hens can't be mean. Though they could peck you when you touch them while their laying their egg, but it's not there fault, there only trying to protect their egg. Hens are actually great pets :)
Hens are mom chickens and roosters are dad chickens. Only mom chickens, hens, lay eggs. They lay eggs all year.
Because it is a natural instinct for them to go broody
Yes,because the chicken and the duck is only one flesh.
