Golden Seabright gone broody??

[Shifty Joe]

So, got a question. I seem to have a seabright that has gone broody. Every thing I've read about these birds say they never go broody and if they do that the mortality rate is high. Being that this is our first hen to go broody, the wife would like the hen to have a few eggs to hatch. We'd use some of the larger breed eggs, no interest in seeing a golden seabright crossed with a barred rock, right? Anyone have thoughts on the mothering abilities of Seabrights? I would hate to have our first self raised hatched

Also, side note that you may find funny. My coop has 21 nesting boxes and I have four stone eggs that I move around to keep the hens from over using any particular nest. This Seabright has decided the white stone eggs is hers and she is going to hatch it. She has been followed it around for a week before I figured out she was broody.

That is so cute!
I would pick a few and let her try. Just mark them well and also why not the Br/Seabright?

I've given her three eggs and been watching her all day. Being that she is the smallest bird in my flock, she does seem to be willing to tell any of the bigger birds to back off if they come around.

A Barred Rock over a Seabright, what would that even look like?

I have a goldbright that just got broody for the second time. I put eight eggs under her, some I hope will be olive-eggers. Her first batch went very well. Seven out of eight hatched and they all survived. She is an excellent mother. Put some eggs under her that you want to hatch.

A Barred Rock over a Seabright, I'd like to know how that comes out?

My friend has seabrights, and she has one broody right now. She says they're very good broodies and mommys!
