sadedoes<p>Miss Baby is back in Broody Jail. </p><p>I had noticed she had spent about 2h in the nest already, so I went to check, she did the grrr-cluck-cluck so I gently took her out of the nest.

So I prepared her jail with food &amp; water and sight on her sisters from another mother.</p><p>Last time she was in Broody Jail was in November 🙄 </p><p><a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/ChickensOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChickensOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/ChickenKeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChickenKeeping</span></a> <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/KeepignChickens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KeepignChickens</span></a> <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/ChickenToot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChickenToot</span></a> <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/Chookesties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chookesties</span></a> <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/Chookingham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chookingham</span></a> <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/BroodyJail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BroodyJail</span></a></p>
