Are they buff orpingtons? My buffs seem to this in the early winter, drives me nuts. I usually try to break them of the brood.

How do you break them of the brood? One of my buff orps thinks she wants to hatch eggs and she's mighty crabby when we disagree with her about it!

We have 4 laying hens and 2 that are still too young to lay. We'd been getting 3-4 eggs a day until Penny got broody; now we only get 1 or 2 and occasionally none. Is that just coincidence? It is colder and darker, but we have a light that goes on in the coop so they'll have a longer day.
