"I've never had one of my girls go broody before, but I think this is it.\nHow she acts:\n-She pecked a broom I was using to clean out the coop, from her nest box, with her hackles raised.\n-after she pecked the broom, she started egg clucking like crazy. I haven't heard about them egg clucking when they are broody.\n-but she lets me feed her treats and pet her, and I also was able to take away her egg easily.\n-She is nervous, and only my other hen can get her to calm down.\n-she does guttural chicken screams.\nHow she looks.\n-she just recently got a bare patch on her lower breast.\n-she sits in the nest box like she does before she lays and egg.\nI highly suspect she is broody, but she lacks some traits of a broody chicken and she has some I haven't heard of, such as her egg clucking, screaming, and the bare patch on her breast. She is also usually very scared of the broom I use to clean the coop (though I have never, ever touched her with it, let alone hurt her) but now she pecks it bravely."
