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!
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!
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.
Thank you for your review. This is why I like writing articles. To help others understand what to do and why to do it. Understanding the "why" is always best. That puts you on a path to come up with other ideas that may be better suited to your particular situation. Good luck with that broody brat!
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.
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
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.
But Tink taught you where, exactly, the "Turkey" came from, right?! That little nut has been sitting on the eggs ever since they started back up early last month!
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
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 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! ️️️️️
