haha my hen does that too.. she screams like some monkey in pain.. but she wont peck and she will gladly stand for me while i take her eggs.. then goes back to sitting before shes finished and hungry again, must be just a natural chicken reaction,
Some hens just love to scream!LOL! Seriously, some hens perform way more vocalization than others, and from our limited experience this is hereditary. We also found a correlation between increased vocalizaton and broodiness: the more broody-traits our birds have the less they scream! Our best cluckies don´t scream, our most clumsy clukies (=broody hen) scream alot . The term cluckie comes from the sounds the mother hens make: cluck-cluck-cluck, broody is just another (modern) term for cluckie.
Really no need to feel sorry for her, we always allow around 1/3rd of our hens to sit, so with time she´ll have her turn. Just right now we have 15 cluckies out of 40 hens..LOL!
hurry up and break its neck, I like my chicken fried, spicey with mashed potatoes and gravey thank you very much.

Yes, some hens do this. I´d say a handful out of our birds do it. From our observation it´s a trait just like any other trait, but a funny one;-)

Why do they do this? Is this for hens who just lay regular eggs or were they fertile eggs? And is this what they call "broody"? Lol.
