Do EE's go broody?????

[ginbart]

I have 2 EE hens and would like to know if they go broody at all. I may hatch more if they do. It will save me some work this spring.

Thanks.

Real ameraucanas will go broody.

One of my two EE's went broody

With chickens anything is possible:idonno. I've heard that broody has been bred out of BS, but one of my hens went broody last fall after only laying a few tiny pullet eggs. It took me a while to realize what was happening considering the short, cold days, her breed, age, and no roo. She was pretty easy to break so might not have actually hatched out a clutch, but I'm hoping she does it again in spring so I can put some fertile eggs under her and hope for the best.

I have 2 EE's, both went broody this year and one was broody 3 times.

Mine have in fact one just hatched at thanksgiving, she hatched out a couple batches of guineas this spring too.

Hopefully my bator can be put away in the spring, I'm going with the 3 out of 4 saying yes.

Thanks everyone.
