careful what you wish for - broody - she's backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[gritsar]

After two years of praying, begging, pleading for a broody hen I've got one. Of course the way my luck runs, my new broody hen is my half-blind, half-witted (yes! a chicken can be only half-witted!) hen Lil' Bit.

Not sure whether I'm going to try and break her or not.

It has been a long time coming for you!!!!! Go ahead, let her have some eggs, you never know... she could be a great momma!!

Just don't let her set on her own eggs.

I'm still hoping for one here, but it is a dual edged sword for sure. My egg production has dropped by a third the last two days so I'm pretty sure I have some renegades hiding a nest o'rr two. If it's not raining tomorrow I think I'll go sit out in the barnyard with a book and spy on them. Good luck with you're girl!

Thanks. If she sticks for a couple days I'll give her some eggs, but not too many. She's just like a little girl with attention deficeit....I'm broody, I'm broody, lalalalalala...oh look at that pretty butterfly...lalalala, oh yeah what was I doing? Oh that's right I'm broody, I'm broody.

Ever since I bought the movie Up for my kids we call that kind of behaviour "Squirrel."

Gritsar, good luck with your broody. Have Jax and Kane solved the ear problem.

I persoanlly don't like to break them. I had Dominique go broody, I gave her two eggs and she hatched them this past week or so.

GIVE THAT GIRL SOME EGGS TO HATCH!!!!!! She will probably surprise you.

your lucky i'm begging for my hens to go broody again. Once i think i've got one, nope they jump right off the eggs. Last year i hatched 8 eggs around this time so i'm hoping my hen will want to hatch again soon.
