Hi all!! I have been a long time lurker, just never posted before......
So I have had 5 hens for about 3 years for egg production only.....now I have ordered 14 more day-old chicks for delivery in April. I have 2 EE roosters already that are approx 8 months old (sold to me as hens!!)
So my main questions is what hens are traditionally more broody then others. I would love to try to hatch my own chicks with a broody hen, but don't really know what kinds I would have better luck with becoming broody in the future.
Thanks!!!
