Hhhmmm... Let's see, my white silkie eggs are due this Monday, and my Rhode Island Red has not gone broody yet due to all the rain we have been having. She's doing the little clucking thing now (broody cluck). Not the one where they call the chicks but the one where they do it if they are...
My BA is stopping taking care or her little chick. My RIR is going broody again for her 2nd time this year since her last brood which was just a month ago when she quit brooding her last brood! LOL! I believe I won't ever leave this thread I do believe.
Ok, so I've had my Cochin bantam, PRIR, and my BA have all gone broody but none of my silkies have ever gone broody. My CB just got attacked by my neighbors dog and she was still brooding her 3 1/2 month old chicks. So, I separated them so she could heal. My PRIR quit brooding her 2 month old...
