Anyone on broodie overload?

Several...I have too many chickens

If I had to guesstimate I would say the broodies make up 1/6th to 1/5th of my hens.

Edit to say that I'm glad they don't ALL go broody, I'd really be in a pickle then!

Olive, has 2 babies. Belle has one, she had 2 other eggs, but decided one chick was enough, so I stuck those eggs under the net broody in line. My two bantams, I candled their eggs and only one from each batch was good, so I left those and stuck some LF eggs under them. I candled my Columbian Wyandottes, one hen smashed all her eggs, so no more for her, the other hen has 4.

So who is Sourland and how did he do this broody curse thing? And if we dance backward around a fire can we undo it (found another broody this morning)?

May I join in on the dance?

I'll provide the firewood for the fire.

Omg, dance backward huh, I would probably trip and fall into the fire, lol.
Add two broodies to my count. Plus, two hens hatched 9 chicks each, and one hatched 4. I hear peeping under another. The rapture her will be being smothered under millions of chicks.

Just request a broody, and I will provide. Just ask Gritsar.

do a little dance

n sing a little song

walla

There have been some broody GPS problems lately and Gritsar has been getting broodies intended for others. If your requested broodies don't arrive just re request (that should be a word) and I will provide. Gritty can handle the overflow.
