Broody hen gave up

[MysteryChicken]

My favorite chicken is now 6 years old. I'm probably just lucky, but she's had 11 clutches of chicks in her many years of service. I couldn't even tell you if she lays eggs for me any more, but she has earned her spot and will never be made into stock.

Best broodies I've had were Silkies, & Cracker hens. I also had a Buff Orpington raise chicks, but had to take them away after one chick got stepped on by another hen, & got a broken toe.
