Broodies look so MEAN.

Really... look at that murderous gleam in her eye. She's just waiting for me to make a false move, and she'll eat my face off.

She's the one that laid her eggs in the hay loft. I had to relocate her. That's 14 eggs she's sitting on.

I'd turn around....very slowly....and quietly creep away. With luck you'll still have all your limbs.

I had two go broody on the same nest. Trust me, two evil glares are worse than one.

I love her coloring, she's a gorgeous girl! Are those eggs she's going to hatch?

 

[Badhbh]

She's a BLRW. I don't know what's under her- looks like she took one from each hen and laid some of hers on top. She's got a hodge podge under her. I've got several roosters, so what they'll be is anyone's guess

I think they look cute all fluffed up like that. Its fascinating

Good luck with the hatch!

Thanks

When I moved her, I saw that she'd plucked herself completely bare underneath. I know that they do it, but it was shocking to see it.

lol. She's not playing any games. She's seriously serious about those 14 eggs. lol.

Hi,

Oh, yes, they take this very seriously and look FEROCIOUS! But any broodies that I've had are either Silkies or Cochin Banties, which makes them easy to deal with. I don't know how I would do if one of my BO's went broody. Just have to wait and see. Good luck!

She's so pretty! What a lovely thing!

I know, Woodstock doesn't look very nice when she periodically goes broody, either. Except she seems to be in more of a trance than a mean state.

my cochin bantam hens were viscious when it came to protecting their nests, i've been pecked many times being nosey

It's the growling and general grumpiness that makes me laugh. Nothing like a silkie muttering chicken curses under her breath.
