We've had a banty hen since Dec. Something, a fox or coyote got all of my neighbors chickens but this little banty hen.
She made her way to our place and stayed, she likes it here :-)We like her so much we buy all kinds of chicken feed
but she likes cracked corn the best and scatching for whatever it is shes finding under the lvs. We made her a box bed
with warm wheat straw and nailed it down to the inside of the porch railing. She knows its for her, sleeping in it every night.
I noticed she wanted to sit on her eggs, making'funny noises etc so I let her keep 3 eggs. Theres not a rooster around for miles so shes sitting on eggs that will never hatch.
What should I do? Go ahead and take her eggs away from her.? She didn't leave her eggs for 2 days not even to eat so
this is getting serious.
What to do? Excuse the messy porch.
