My Buff Orpingtons are 15 months old and they have gone broody,let's see I think this makes 3 times. The first time I sat her in a tub of water. The next time my hubby build a wire cage we call "the hole" which I put her in for a couple of days but this time, well she just wants to be a mom...

Hey! I am so excited to be a part of this group. I am a newbie to "raising" chickens so I'll need lots of friendly help! We don't have chicks yet though. My husband is in the process of building a "coop." I have been purchasing "free-range" eggs from our local farmer's market for a while...
