Are Japanese bantams a good broody breed? I have black, BTW, and buff Japanese bantams and I want to hatch eggs from a broody hen So I'm wondering if this breed frequently goes broody?
 
Yes they are I have a black and white japanese sitting on eggs now.
This will be her second round of babies and she is just under a year old, she hatched out some last December and now she's sitting on more.
I bought my cochin to be my broody hen but she is determined not to go broody so thankfully my Japanese bantam is a good mother.

Here's my JB, Big Ang. She was so seriously broody that she stole eggs from the next box over :D. I didn't realize it at first as she rarely got up but when I checked on her one day I spotted RIR and Marans eggs poking out. Seventeen to be exact! Needless to say, I moved her and her original 5 eggs. FF 2 months and she's back at it :rolleyes:. Did yours go broody yet?

Thank you! Yours is gorgeous! Love her coloring :). I'm very new to the breed and Ang is my only JB but, if the hubby allows, I will be getting more in the spring. They are such loving, loyal birds!

I would also love to get some more in the spring. My Japanese bantam is so friendly and loves being held. They are such a great breed.
