Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do. 
Hi CiaBia! Are you still doing egg swaps? I have some Ayam Cemani mix hens and a purebred rooster! They are really pretty, but I need some hens to go with my pretty rooster. I also have quail and some guinea fowl, but they wont be laying until spring.
