That’s alright! And thanks! It really is! I’ve never had a broody (unless you want to count the bad accident), so this’ll be nice! Rooster is about 2 years old, and all of my hens are nearly 10 months.

Me either, I am hoping to have one at some point, although polish are not supposed to be the best at going broody, maybe one of my others will 🤞 what was the accident?

Oh, I hope so!

Well, about 3-4 years ago, we FINALLY had our 1st broody. Just 1-2 days after she went broody (I didn’t even get to see her :(), dogs broke in, And you can guess what happened next.

Yeah, thanks :hugs

I sure hope so! Thanks! Only problem is….. one of the Cochins, just LOVES laying in tight spaces. Hopefully, she won’t go broody there :lol:

I’ll keep my fingers and toes crossed that all goes well!! You will have to try and block the tight spaces off.

Pretty good! Yeah, I am! I want a broody, so I probably wit set more than 12-15 eggs.

And we got our first bantams! Guess the breed :p

Is it a silky bantam? Or a Pekin or d’Uccle?

It’s very close to a d’uccle. It’s a sablepoot!
