Does anyone know about broodiness?
I understand genetically, that there's a 50/50 chance b/c Orpingtons do go broody, but RIRs do not. (Usually)
I have three that are red and friendly (color from RIR, demeanor from BO) and one who is the opposite, her coloring is more like a BO and her attitude is more like a RIR. Is their demeanor any indication of broodiness?

IDK if anyone watches this thread anymore, but my Comets are laying again. All four of them (I got four eggs one day), but I only got the first one on Tues.
They slowed down for a few months, but they're picking back up.

I still have the same question: Does broodiness usually follow coloring or "personality"?

BROODINESS IS GENETIC TREAT LIKE COLOR, RATE OF LAY AND OTHER, THEY HAVE IT OR THEY DON'T.
MANY OF HIBREED LAYERS ARE SELECTED DO NOT BE BROODY, BUT SOME TIMES, VERY RARE THEY DO. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR BROODY HENS, BETTER LOOK FOR BREEDS, WHO ARE MORE PRONE TOUARD IT.

As I understand this general information about breeds, broodiness, and hybrid breeds. If you don't have time to answer my question, then why would you waste my time by posting a reply which is almost exactly what I already said?

The demeanor of the hen is no indication of their genetic inclination to go broody. Docile hens can go broody and also flighty and outright mean hens can too. Non-broodiness also exists in docile hens and the flighty or mean ones.

Thank you.
I'm sorry I didn't reply to this before now.
