  • I know it's a silly question but...........

    Will a hen that is broody ever go back to being her old placid & sweet self laying beautiful dark brown eggs or will she be a grumpy Taz of a non laying hen forever?????????

      Hen PMT is only temporary

      the hen you know and love will return - whilst in the broody mode all she concentrates on is being a mum.

      Her temperature goes up (to hatch the eggs), she becomes tetchy and irritable (with frustration), she pecks at the hand that feeds her(she wants fertile eggs not corn) and she will only think about herself (because she knows what she wants).

      It's genetic and it's temporary - there are many parallels in the animal kingdom with this type of behaviour
