    A broody girl

    One of my four girls has gone broody. It's been 3 days and she just sits in the nesting box all ruffled up and growling if anyone comes near.

    New mommy to 4 chicks and haven't the slightest idea what breed they are!

    These are my girls (I hope they are girls!), Helen, Francesca, Morgana, and Lady. I got them at a farm supply store a couple weeks ago. Any ideas?! I'm new to the chicken world. Thanks!!! PS. They seem to hate the paparazzi so this was the best I could get!
