How often do barred rock hens go broody?
- Thread starter can you hear me now?

I think it depends on the bird. Some have their fill once a year. Others sit every chance they get. I have BR that never go broody.
I don't think I've ever has a BR go broody.

Okay people we gotta concentrate
. I need some positive feedback from this. I read at one of the hatchery sites that barred rocks are likely to go broody. This means less eggs I have to put in the bator. Then they can be raised by their mommy and all will be good.

My BR went broody once in the 5 years I have had her, about 3 years ago.

My BR hen is a year and a half old and has never went broody. My BO hen on the other hand has just went and is determined, she has to be made to get up and eat!
I have 7 and I hope none of them go broody. I want the eggs!
BRs are not known for broodiness, especially today's hatchery versions. I have 8 of them laying, a couple almost 3 years old. NONE have ever gone broody. helmstead has one who does go broody on occasion out of her entire flock of them.
