How broody are they? I think you said they are pretty broody girls.
Three of them hatched broods this year. One is very broody, the other 2 don't seem quite as obsessive. Lol 5 are younger, I think only 1 of the 5 pullets is laying now, possibly 2.
Do you have an idea of the prices for a hen?
Probably around $30 each.
