It is a tough decision. Yeah, Leghorns will never go broody, esp. commercial layers.I knew it sounds easier than it actually is in reality, damn... It seemed like an ideal option really. The hens are from industrial poultry house where they lay eggs - I think they are often leghorns - which I now realize is a breed that doesn't go broody right?
Well, another option is to just drop this entire endeavor and just adopt the hens and not raise any chicks. I will have to think about it some more to decide...
I hope you don't give up. If you succeed it's such a special feeling to watch the babies you hatched from eggs grow up. Buying chicks is a decent option too.
