How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[Nomadicus]

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

I would love some Light Sussex. They are so very, very beautiful.

9 out of 9 today!

Unfortunately my SF is acting broody again. I pulled her out of the nest box and forced her outside. When I went back out, she was back in. I sent her out again, and covered the boxes (since everyone laid today, I know they won’t need them til morning. I wouldn’t mind giving her eggs but she’s tried twice and she’s a horrible broody, gets up off the eggs for hours, and when I finally thought she would be good and I gave her eggs, she quit after about 17 days. What’s worse than a broody hen? A hen that is semi-broody and does a bad job. No eggs, snd can’t use her for hatching either.

That's one of the few breeds I've never raised, so I can't speak from experience. But I do know a couple of people who have them, and they've had hens go broody before. From what I understand, these girls tend to be broody later in the summer than some other breeds. But you could end up with a mama hen out of the bunch.

We shall see. We can get hatching eggs about a half hour away. If none of them go broody by middle of next summer we will get the incubator out.

Oh I do hope you have a broody girl.
