At this rate, that incubator which has to be plugged into a wall will grow cobwebs before it hatches any chicks!

I know! And I'm dying to use it! Why should the broody hens have all the fun.

Jethro returned to her favorite roosting spot tonight, so I'm hoping she'll hold off for awhile.

Ya know, your Brahma's are gonna catch wind of this and have to outdo those "amateurs". It's the broody revolt!

I'll read your other post after dinner.

Nah, no store eggs please!

My anti-broody brahmas will keep us and our neighbors in eggs, so the little girls can enjoy themselves.

The broodies cackle: Bbbwaaawwkkk bwahahahak

Whilest they sneakly scoop up the warmly laid eggs of the Brahma girls and tip toe back to their hidden nest.

All I can say is be careful what you wish for. I recall some threads awhile back, bemoaning the lack of broodies.

I think it is wonderful.

Go Jethro Go

Just embrace the broody fever

Really, just give in. Relax.........maybe practice the broody zone-out (with a sappy smile on your face!)

Chicks are good for the soul

You can just give her 2 or 3 eggs for her first time

Just think............you will have a kennel/crate collection to rival mine

I have already made up my mind that if Jethro goes full on broody I will hunt up some serama eggs for her. The excuse I'll give my DH, when he asks why I don't use any of my perfectly good, very well fertilized brahma eggs, is that the poor baby Jethro is too small to cover brahma eggs. Bonus! I get some seramas out of the deal.
