    Breaking a broody

    In my experience it has generally taken weeks rather than hours or days to break a broody hen. [/quote Well, that has worked for us in the past so naturally we're going to attempt a method that we've had success with.

    What breed is my hen?

    She lays light brown eggs, very similar to my other brahma. We've been thinking she's a brahma mix. We've just never seen another one like her.

    What breed is my hen?

    Need help figuring out what breed she is. We've owned chickens for about a year so we're always learning. We have looked up so many different breeds to try to place her but haven't ever seen another chicken like her. She came from the same flock as our light brahma and has similar...
