Thanks, just impatient

GOSH , NO, mine are going on to 4 years , but never have even one ever gone broody , but i wish they did. I have been praying for a good broody hen to come hatch some babies out for me & she would live like a queen at my place..! hhere they are as young pullets,

such amazing sweet little girls. i have a few BR chicks mixed in with my SLW chicks in their grow out pen.

I’m thinking about getting more but the production kind are flighty and I didn’t really care for the hen I have.I had a very weird obsession with her out all my time and effort with her and still today she is scared of me,I think I’ll try the show type this summer.
