My broody hen is letting me approach her, but her feathers stick out on end. Her chest is also bare of feathers. Is that normal for broody hens? She seems to have 1 maasive, runny poo per day.

The hen will pull feathers for the nest and also provide a place for extra warmth next to her skin for eggs and chicks.
