Some people here seem to "attract" broody hens and have to go to great lengths to break them. I have few problems with anything except bantam cochins and silkies (who are bred to have that trait in spades). All I have to do is move a broody to any other pen for a few days and she quits. Some breeds almost never go broody, and they tend to be the better layers anyway. When those breeds do go broody, they make terrible mothers, in my experience.Awesome. Great insight. Appreciate it! I won't ask what a broody breaker pen is yet but, I'll put it on my list for when the time comes... Heh.
