Could incessant broodiness be a sign of a reproductive disorder? Or a hormonal imbalance?

She looks a lot like that but she has a dark head and yeah, I'm sure it's the Orp in her that makes her so crazy broody. But I don't need any more babies! Maybe I should try to sell her to someone who needs a committed broody. But ... I named her Atilla for a reason. If you try to get near her chicks she will rip your hand off and poke your eyes out as well!

Thanks, am familiar with it. Have read aart's* description of the method, imagine they are similar?

I thought once she raised a brood or two, her egg-laying hormones would kick back in, but that hasn't been the case. I've done battle with determined Orps before and ended up culling them as it became obvious I wasn't going to win. Those poor girls were in and out of broody jail over and over again and it just did no good at all - and none of those three were anywhere near as dedicated as my Atilla.

*R.I.P. aart.

Poor baby. I hadn’t realized that it was Atilla the Hen.

Is that a picture of my chickens?
