Day 344 of 2025

The brown chicken has been clucky and sitting on a nest for the past month. 
She's trying to hatch one plastic (fake) egg.
Occasionally she gets off to feed. 
She puts on a great display, telling the other hens to stay well away from her nest while she's off it!!
(Usually I put clucky hens in a 'naughty box' for 3 or 4 days and they stop being broody but I didn't this time for a variety of reasons. I wish I had a month ago but she's in it now!)
