You will get a broody, it just might take some time. I was taken by surprise when she did. I was just glad I had hoarded her eggs! I can't bring myself to eat a silkie egg. BTW I have 2 dozen silkie eggs coming Monday

How exactly do you know whenshe goes broody? They just sit on there eggs all day instead of running around?

With all of the power outages we had over last week's snow storm, I went from 4 dozen eggs to about 15 eggs and I have 4 pipped right now!

Yes, that's exactly what they do. They sit ALL day. I left her for a day and she was still there the next day. So I took her some eggs and placed them in front of her and she bulldozed them under her. That's when I knew she was definately broody.

One of my geese Miss Andrea goes Broody. I have to literally lock her out of the night coop during the day or she would sit on an empty nest all day long without food or water. I take the eggs away regularly and even start to dismantel the nest after they stop laying but she is a tuff broody. Once I found her siting on 2 small rocks she had put in a make shift nest

I hope to sell my culls in the spring. There is a local chicken auction every Friday but I want them to feather out more before I make my final choices. I don't think I will have trouble selling them. When I was meeting someone at a feed store to pick up a roo, we had a large gathering just looking at him.

Awwww, she wants to be a mama! Too sweet, but I bet its frustrating breaking her.

That's pretty good considering

I have tortoises and always dread losing power in the winter. We live outside the city so it seems we get help from the electric company as a last effort

Nothing yet. I'll be gone all day though,

and I'm hoping to have a few by the time I get back tonight. Anyway, the temp has been a little low, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were a day or so late.
