I am in Spartanburg, SC. Have a broody I have tried to break in EVERY way listed on this site to no avail. Had her on 3 eggs for 10 days only to have them eaten by a snake. Would like to purchase just a few eggs of any kind for her to raise. (I realize the eggs won't be $1)
 
You might try posting on this thread and look for a few young chicks to put under her. You should be able to find someone near you with young chicks that can help out. You are looking for just-hatched chicks. Skip the hatching part altogether.

I had a snake eat the eggs out from under a broody but had some eggs in the incubator. When they hatched, I slipped them under her at night using very little light. She raised them fine.

Hi! Thank you for the suggestion, I did and had many helpful replies! :)
 
My LF Lemon Cuckoo Orpingtons are laying very well, and my Bantam Lavender Cochins, also have a couple of LF Black Orpington eggs and a couple Serama eggs. PM me if interested.

Hi All! Thank you so much for the replies! The situation seems to have panned out well with out the eggs! I guess the snake scared the broody right out of her!

Next time you want to break your "broody" get a rubber snake!
