That's alot of broodies! I've had two broodies, but they never hatched anything. When the first hen was broody, I didn't have a rooster at the time, and the second broody would get confused when she went out to potty and eat and drink. When she came back into the coop, she would set on the wrong nest! I tried to keep an eye on her, but I finally gave up. Nothing ever hatched for her. Poor dear!

I wish everyone could have a broody like Blondie.
I know everyone says silkies are great broodies, and I am sure they are, but I have such fanastic broodies in Cochins, I highly recommend them. (course I do not have any silkies
to correctly judge - and do not want any
) The bantam cochins seem to be slightly more broody crazy than the standard/large fowl.
