I had arranged for my chicken friend Jackie to visit yesterday to see how my angry bird was behaving. This was the first chance I had to invite Jackie over as we have had family staying and visiting for the past two weeks.<\/p>\n

When I went out to the girls at seven in the morning yesterday, I was surprised to see that Topaz was out in the run. I gave the girls some corn and Topaz then went back into the nest box. I thought to myself that that was one less time to have to get her out.<\/p>\n

When I returned a couple of hours later I was surprised to see that Topaz was out again and was much calmer. She was still out in the run when I left to do my deliveries.<\/p>\n

I returned at lunch time and Topaz was still out and behaving normally. It seemed that she suddenly wasn’t broody any more. It was like a switch had been flicked and after two weeks of being an angry broody she was suddenly completely back to normal.<\/p>\n

It was so lovely to see her out with the flock and no aggressive behaviour towards her flock mates.<\/p>\n

When Jackie visited all was calm and normal as if Topaz had never been broody at all.<\/p>\n

It is lovely seeing Topaz back out with the flock doing all the usual chicken things. Even at bedtime when I lifted her down from the perch to put her in the coop she didn’t try to peck me. My sweet topaz is back again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
