4 hens?!?!?

How many eggs do they have?

Do you think that once one hen starts brooding that the other hens get jellies and start to brood as well?

This is the Dragon and her brood. She is a OEGB mix with her mixed chicks.

all of these are sooo cute!

i only have ducks and my hen isn't broody, so no pics here! i was just wondering if older hens are more likely to go broody. i've been wondering that.

A lot of people say older hens are more likely to become broody. but the broody hens I had were broody before they were even a year old. And get this, they were both at the bottom of the pecking order.

Peppa,
Awesome broody hen!
Fun Fact: Set for 42 days before getting her babies. First 21 days was a bust. out of 7 eggs NONE hatched. I put 9 more under her and out of 9 eggs only 3 hatched. She was full force broody right through the ice storm in kentucky.

Well...not as many as you would think because I wasn't expecting all of them to do that! The first had been brrody for about two weeks...I had marked like 7 eggs and was removing the others. Then one kinda acted broody...then two days later everybody was in there. Now they won't let me check! Try finding a non guarded end...I am just leaving them alone now! The rooster is such a confused feller!
