Broody Management - From the First Turkey Strut to Weaning the Chicks

I currently have a broody! She’s on Day 17 and this article has been so helpful. I have a Roo and I’ve been worried he might hurt the chicks, but reading this gives me hope that all will be well Thank you!!

Wonderful! I’ve read about broodies many times, but you have shown exactly what they look like and sound like!

Great article, comprehensive & very well written. Thanks, have bookmarked it for future reference

This article is extremely informative and detailed! This provided the insight that I needed to help me make up my my mind about the best method for building a broody suite on the coop and how to handle the the introduction phase of the process, when the time comes. Thank you @DobieLover !

This is great. Comprehensive, informative, humorous, and lots of great visuals that cover broody from start to finish. Favorite quotes would include "Mommy Dearest" references and something about neighbors forming a lynch mob

Super great article. Only the title containing turkey was very strange to me. I didn't comprehend it and thought it was about turkeys.
I wouldn’t have read it if @Shadrach didn’t mention it is really worthwhile to read it.

Very informative and well-written article! I had attempted a similar nest build for my main group this time last year, and the birds loved it. Hoping to do it again this year, along with some of the other tips I picked up from this great article! With spring here, this is a wonderful guide to help the people who find themselves struggling to decide what to do with their broody birds, or for those planning ahead

Very good information. I will be sharing when someone is looking for information on broodies

Thorough, complete information about the process from egg to hatch to chick and beyond. I like how the author explained each step, illustrating with clear and pertinent photos.

One of my hens went broody this weekend so it's especially helpful for me at this time.

I don't understand how I missed this article.
No point in me trying to explain why I rate it 5 stars. Read it and you'll understand.

This helped me a lot with my first broody and everything has worked out perfectly! Thank you for all your detailed information!

When one of my hens gave me reason to suspect she was heading down the broody path and I knew less about it than she did, I came looking for guidance and thankfully this was the first article I found.

DobieLover’s vivid description of a hen gone broody confirmed my suspicions. We’re undecided as to which way we’ll go but I feel much better prepared to manage either direction.

In addition to the author’s suggestions, I appreciate the explanations and rationale, and especially the personal anecdotes. Well done and many thanks.

Great info!!! THANK YOU!!!

Very comprehensive article!

This was such a great article! I liked how you took the reader step by step through the entire process. The moss idea and adding water was equally as interesting. Well done! ️️️️️

I love this article! Amazing!

Excellent!

Awesome article! The information is very helpful and well organized. I loved all the pictures and I will definitely be using this when my hens go broody!

Wish I'da read this with my first broody. Thank you DobieLover!

One of the (or maybe just THE) best reads on broodies I have ever seen! I will recommend this article to anybody who is starting out or having problems with broodies!
