In California there is not much seasonal weather change so brooding chicks is appealing to her all year long...LOL! She hasn't gone...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Hi! I have a Bantam Cochin that is VERY determined to sit when she goes broody...even when there are no eggs under her. If I try to discourage her broodiness, she will stop for a week or 2...then right back to broody mode Now I just let her sit and go through her broody stage. She has never...
