She lays them, she sits on them, then she hatches them. That clutch had 3 pullets, and 4 cockerels.

Did try with broody girls but dont think it worked - looks like chicks in eggs but not sure any movement maybe they got off them too long - not sure - need your broody girl
so want to try something else next time

Once they go broody, I can't touch them, or their eggs. (They reject the clutch if I do)

I did not touch them much tried to candle eggs in day hard to do when we opened the coop they came out for a poop and scratch around and stretch, had to candle at night a small bit easier to see, picture of the girls on this thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/help-advice-on-broodys-hatching-eggs.1413776/

Just thinking it will be nice to try an incubator as well - just want some good results

Q. "What sort of chicken is she?"
A. Easter Egger, bought as a chick, sold as a 1 day old "Americana"
She's a real sweet hen.
