Why does my broody chicken sit on nothing?
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.

How many farms use battery cages?
While it is impossible to quantify how many companies still use the battery system, it is known that in the UK alone more than 16 million hens are still kept in cages by large companies. The trend is to reduce battery hens and offer "cage-free" chickens and chicken products now. Cage free is simply the release of the birds from cages to the floor of a massive building where the birds are still crowded. Cage free is NOT free range. Consumers would not stand for the price increases involved if all eggs and chicken meat were to be based on the cost of free range vs. cage free.

How long should you allow 2 mature hens to get used to the third mature hen introduced before you know it won't work?
I believe it is best if you dont introduce just one hen. there is a better chance of introducing two hens that know each other to another two hens which know each other. that way the hens you had alredy will not pick on the new hen. And i am not sure how long i would wait but it may take at least a few weeks. I had the same problem not too long ago!what you should do is put the third hen in a small cage inside the hutch/cage that you have the other hens in. only leave the third hen in there for a week at most! make sure that the other hens can see her! this will help in that the other two hens will get used to seeing her with them and then after the week release the 3rd hen with the othe hens ! they should get a long! good luck
