....lol. I've waiting to see if she goes broody on your own again. but so far she hasn't.
 
I have just got 10 chicks out of 12 eggs for the first time. the broody mother is very protective of them! they are so sweet!

Congrats! It's definitely a neat thing! 10 out of 12 - Great!

Funny how much I have learned since I started this thread...lol. I didn't even know how to candle an egg then. Now I have hatched out hundreds of chicks. Also funny how I haven't had another chicken go seriously broody since this hen I started this thread for until just here this week. I all of a sudden have 3 that seem to really want to hatch some out. I put them off by themselves this morning.

I wonder how much of a hen going broody is just a way to get away from the rooster(s).....lol.

Good luck with your hen and babies!
