My chicken is a criminal…

[SilentStorm]

For anyone who doesn't understand, a hen can starve herself to death waiting for eggs to hatch.. be removing her from the equation for a few days, she'll " reset " and be normal again.

Bros got an entire civilization on his backyard.

At this time, I have 4 broody hens, 2 broody ducks, and a broody mother goose…..3 chicks were born and everyone got jealous and decided they wanted their own….

[emilyfarley]

Ive had a broody hen for months, and i finally got some fertilized eggs for her to sit on. Fingers crossed that in a few weeks she'll have the family shes been wanting ❤ update: she talks to the eggs. It's so sweet, she's going to be such a great momma.

"My chicken has comitted a crime"

*Oil frying noise intensifies*

[demonicaunderworld]

I hope everyone realizes that he isn't actually punishing her, just separating her from the nest, which i'm pretty sure is a normal thing.

Edit: i don't know ANYTHING about chickens so take it with a grain of salt

[sofeanix]

She was like "What did I even do?😧, I'm just trying to be a good mother 😢"

[loduke]

I always laugh when people say, "I don't eat eggs because I don't eat baby chickens" 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'm like yoooo that's not how it works, bud.

I now need a book about chicken laws to become a chicken lawyer

Edit: look ma! I'm famous!

[weasel]

Sir, you’ve committed a crime just by naming your chicken BUTTER

Edit: I have a cat named Cream Cheese

Edit Edit: Cream Cheese has passed away… such a cool cat. I’m so gonna miss her.

[thoughtslyer]

The last sentence: "She'll be back to a productive member of our flock" gave me vibes of a chickens civilization dystopia so bad

[sanchittandon]

the chicken demands a trial by combat...

[Sparky_Heckert]

Just for anyone, wondering you’re supposed to take your hen and separate them if they crack an egg or else they will start cracking tons of eggs, including fertile ones, and all the chickens will start eating your eggs and you won’t get any more eggs so you’re giving them a time out so they won’t crack eggs but this guy could give his hen someone else’s eggs to hatch and she would probably hatch them but if she’s cracking eggs, you probably don’t want her near them but you also don’t want her depressed for not being able to hatch eggs ❤❤❤

That moment Jacques hands over the jail is epic 😂

[mszbaybehkay]

It’s common for broody hens to not want to eat or drink water because they are so committed to hatching their eggs. But you have to make sure she is looking after herself too! 🐓🐣

“Jail Break”, love it 😂
oh the amount of hours we have spent chasing our chickens to get them to where we want them to go, I can only imagine how silly we looked 😅😂

[dawnybaby]

She would be able to get out of chicken jail in 2 days if you put the cage on bricks for good airflow. She is broody because her body temperature has risen and has caused her hormones to go into baby hatching mode. Once her body temp drops back down to normal (the reason to raise the cage off the ground) her hormones will go back to normal. You can gently spray her underside with the garden hose which speeds up the body temp drop. Also if you ever have 2 hens go broody they each need their own cage. Otherwise they will huddle up and they will stay broody. I have a couple repeat offenders that seem to run hot alot 😂

[nickdaveNDM]

She's still exceedingly friendly for a broody hen. Any of my chickens that went broody, when you moved them you got bitten hard and a fair amount lol

[luigiplayer]

I used to have about 60 chickens and I can assure you that finding broken eggs is never a good sign, if you found broken eggs next to a chicken try fedding them more because the chickens can get so hungry that they start eating their eggs and then after a bit of time they never stop even if they are well feed
Hope this advice helped

Butter comes out jail a changed bird. Prison tatts on the wings and everything.
