I have this chicken.....I was told she was a Dark Cornish...have also heard Cornish X but don't think that is right.

She has been in the darkest corner nest box for about three days. Maybe it is just when I am going out there, but of course that is the nest that gets the most eggs so it is the most popular. I have not seen her out but one time since I started noticing.

Do they go broody?
 
You know, I have just noticed her. The last two days, maybe three. Will check later today and look tonight when I put them to bed and see where she is. I looked last night and could not see her. If she is in that box there are eggs in there. The last two days I have not been able to get in there to get the eggs!!

I will look and see tonight and then decide what to do about her. I will let her sit....but how long before I move her to the broody pen I have ready??

Omg....just thought about it. I have 32 chicks in the brooder and set a full incubator of eggs Saturday night. AND my DH is out of town working and I need him to come home ready to build another coop and run!!!

Oh, and thanks....had just looked up a Dark Cornish up and that is exactly what she is!
