8/9 today. My Marans only lays 3 times a week and honestly I'm over it lol. I know it isn't true but I feel like she's doing the bare minimum to keep from getting the boot as a freeloader

Awesome! Letting a mama hen raise chicks is the most fun part of keeping chickens for me.

My daughter is desperate for one of ours to go broody.

The trick is, to NOT want a broody girl. If you don't want one, you're just about guaranteed to have at least 2 ladies go broody.

I'm sure you've already said, but what breeds do you have? Some are more likely than others to go broody.

They are all Light Sussex. Beautiful and friendly. Galena is an escape artist, she always slips past my kids when they go in.
