I don't get these silly hens...

[Ravishaw]

We had a rooster for months... No hens went broody.

Then the rooster attacked my daughter and landed a spot in the big coop in the sky.

Now my hens are going broody. One hen just hatched out 9 chicks. The other hen is setting on unfertilized eggs but she doesn't care. I pulled them all out this morning and she still set stubbornly on thin air.

Agnes is going to have something to say about this broodiness in her CRS letter this week.

Silly chickens. If it's any consolation, I've heard that broody hens will occasionally sit on pieces of wood, fruit, even kittens!
