Good Brooders

Pros: Friendly, good layers when not broody

Cons: go broody way to often

We have a few buffs in our flock and while they are good layers sporadically, I have noticed some issues with them. They seem to go broody way to often, multiple times in a year, also I have noticed that they tend to stay close to the food and eat themselves into a robust state that then diminishes their egg laying rate.

I agree about the broodiness of this breed. They are beautiful, docile, consistent layers...except when they're broody.
