getting a broody

[trooper]

What HEChicken said.
I don't do it that way, because I'm not into breeding .... However, all of my roosters ARE

and I've had a few hens go broody... I let them hatch. With a mixed flock, I have quite a few crossbreed chickens. My most consistent broody hen is a Buff Orpington; she's gone broody and hatched chicks 3 times in two years.

That is probably what i'll do also.I wasn't sure how to work broodies,but I like your way.I'm learning.Thanks
