The last few days, Lucky has acted like she is going broody. She was sitting on her nest all afternoon so there is a good chance she is ready to to incubate eggs. Lucky is a special hen. When she was a chick, she suffered an injury on the back of her head and had to be kept away from her siblings and mother. She beeped and beeped and beeped for them. To this day, she has a bald spot on the back of her head which gives her a distinctive look.

If she has gone broody, she’ll be able to have that wonderful, warm family experience she missed as a child. She has a very outgoing personality and is one of the first hens to come running when I dig in the gardens.
