Anybody out there discover they're not really that "into" hatching?

Wyondottes are also known for going broody..it's because of one that I had years ago, that I got into the hatching egg thing. I bought eggs for her, because we can't have roos. It took a while for those eggs to get here once I decided, but she sat strong on some, I had bought a bator too, put some in there, and thus...the hatching days began.
I've heard that bantys go broody often. I now have some Cohin bantys in my bator. I will have to see if they do go broody. Saw the cutest little mom banty in the next town over, that had these large babies just hanging around her..and she was clucking and talking away to them. The people that owned her said that she was their best broody hen, and that they set eggs under her whenever she goes broody..which was often. Guess she loves babies.

I have four Brinseas, ranging in models and they are easy to use. Last fall I had awesome hatch rates...this spring I have been struggling. Sure I am disappointed, but I figure that I can always try again.

Another broody breed are Silkies...I have one that my DH absolutely hates because she is always sitting in a nest trying to steal eggs. When it gets warmer I am going to let her hatch her own.
