Thanks folks! I went ahead and took her out of her pen and put her back in with the rest of my hens. Last year she went broody 4 or 5 times so I shouldn't have to wait too long to try again.
Alright folks, I set my favorite broody hen about 4 weeks ago. For the first time ever, none of the eggs have hatched. The funny part is, she is still setting and I've lost all hope of any of the eggs hatching. Now for the crazy question part... What do you think would happen if I changed...

Thanks for the welcome! I'm actually up around Campobello which is a few miles north of Spartanburg.

I know these are probably not show stock (and I didn't get them to show anyway) but how do these youngsters look? I bought them at a couple of days old from a local farmer. I have no info as to where there are from and how "pure" they are... I just got them to run around the yard...
Just thought I'd share a few pics of my doms. These were hatched the last week or so of April so they're about 12-14 weeks old. One of the roosters has just started crowing within the last week. We've got 2 pullets and 2 roosters.
