We have been blessed with some awesome broody hens! We just spoil them, they do the work and we get to enjoy the benefits! I must confess... we don't even own an incubator! Though it seems we have at least 7 in our coop now... and our December hatch with Gracie was 3 of her own eggs because I was wanting to make sure we had another generation of broody types for when Gracie got older.... and Pidgy's Sept hatch was 3 of her own for the same reason... little did I know that within a couple of months we would have 4 large fowl hens go broody too! So I totally expect that when Gracie and Pidgy's youngsters get older we are going to be over run with broody hens and will need to find some loving homes....
