Broody White leghorn... again...

[KWAK]

I was told leghorns NEVER went broody... I have 6... and 1 has hatched out 3 batches of eggs this year and is on her 4th now... I am so "mad"

started with 8 hens... and thanks to her, and a buff orpington, i am up to 30 hens and 8 roosters... HELP

 

[Sphinx]

Are you going to let her hatch out another batch, or are you going to try and break her?

My leghorn(ish) chicken hasn't shown the slightest inclination to go broody.

 

[Tiss]

Wow, what is it with non-broody breeds going broody? I'm on my second broody sex link this summer. At least my leghorn hasn't shown any interest.....yet.

ahh, chicken maths

 

[KWAK]

I think i might break her... hmm... im allowed to have as many chickens as i want my dad said tho...

 

[BigDaddy'sGurl]

If it's any consolation, my andalusian hen who was supposed to "rarely go broody" went broody this spring... And my silkie did twice...

 

[donrae]

Send her this way! I'll happily trade her for a hen that's never gone broody

i raised 50 comets ..sex-links....they are 7 months and 5 have already gone broody...last yr i picked up an ee and bared rock at the feed store so they would go broody and neither one has shown any inclination...good luck with the white leghorn..
