I wonder if that is why Penelope and Blanche never have gone broody - Sophia while I was surprised went broody, I often wondered why she didn't, she would sit for hours on a hoard of eggs, all day in fact. But Blanche and Penelope are definitely the Boss Mares here - they both rule equally and are very good rulers. Tolerant of the chicks, and do not go out of their way to harass the other chickens.
Oh I hope I didn't just jinx myself and those two go broody on me, I have Whiskers in there being a broody girl, but at least she doesn't cause any problems and doesn't pick fights. She just runs around like a crazed lunatic a few times a day screaming, will have a bite to eat, a drink and run back to whichever nest box has eggs in it hahaha. She's a wily one, I have to constantly check to make sure she isn't sitting on eggs.

wonder where he found it!
