Your Hen usually stays in her nest, not greeting you as normal.

If you look in on her you may notice she will 'fluff' up her feathers & 'cluck' constantly, keeping her breast down and her tail up. She will only come out if encouraged to do so, for food & water. She will soon run at top speed back to her nest after a few minutes.

This will last 18-21 days, (the incubation period of an egg to hatch out.)
