broody chickens

[addy8]

My Buff Orpingtons have been taking turns being partly broody with a chance of "setting-ness" for over a month now. No one has completely taken the plunge though. I have one in a kennel cab now on eggs, she's done this several times overnight but she loses interest by morning.

Cochin bantams have been known to go broody

my five would be cochin bantams, araucanas, buff orphingtons, partridge rocks and white brahama

I had on BO PULLET go broody on me after just starting to lay at about 24 weeks old.... I was a little concerned about putting eggs under her being she was only a "young pullet" but she was very consistant for several days. I put 10 eggs under her... She has done an excellent job and hardly EVER gets off the nest for a quick bite of food and water then right back on the nest. She is due to hatch this Tuesday so we will see how she does
