Ameraucanas aren't supposed to typically go broody either, but I had one that was a year old that was broody just one time, this past spring...never since. I had the same experience, but she was on the floor in the corner, out of sight, under the nest boxes, and was sitting on everyone's eggs for several days. I wondered where they all were! SHEESH! I think what happens is when they see ONE go broody, they all lay quite close to her so she can easily move their egg to the nest. That's my guess anyhow! Neat story - thanks for sharing!
