Sometimes a hen will
stop laying and instead will focus on the incubation of eggs, a state that
is commonly known as going broody. A broody chicken will sit fast on the
nest, and protest or peck in defence if disturbed or removed, and will
rarely leave the nest to eat, drink, or dust bathe. While broody, the hen
keeps the eggs at a constant temperature and humidity, as well as turning
the eggs regularly.

Chickens are flock animals, so you should consider
getting more than one if your going to keep them as a pet, and there are a
heap of different varieties available |
