I have a flock of 22 birds consisting of 14 laying hens, 2 cockrels, one rooster and 5 pullets. I have a conchin x leghorn that went broody (second timer) yesterday and today have a white leghorn, 15 months-old, that is refusing to leave a nest I was trying to entice someone to brood on (only the egg she laid today under her). How crazy is that?? I was under the impression that white leghorns were practially completely bred out of broodiness. She appears healthy otherwise, nice bright red comb, alert and responsive, no other odd behavior or distress. I went ahead and stuck some eggs under her just because the other broody has like 20+ cached under her and it's way too many for her to cover adequately (not too concerned about hatch rate-these are bonus babies), but am just bumfuddled. Is this more common than I am thinking?
