I'm cursed with broodies! ARGH!

[technodoll]

If it's not one hen going broody, it's the other - no, it's two or three at a time!

New, young layers too - even sexlinks!!

Tomorrow I'm building a broody-breaker wire crate, I've had enough of this - I want eggs!

(( end of rant, thanks for hearing me out ))

I'll send you eggs, you send me broodies.

Sexlinks?

You're lucky!

Wow. What a horrible curse... Tell you what, I'll swap you some of mine that never go broody, then you won't have to deal with those horrible broodies anymore.

I had the same problem. I filled a bucket with cool water and set her in it for a few minutes. She wasn't real happy with me and she looked funny being wet, but she isn't broody anymore.

I had one hatch eggs last week and today found two more hens, both broody, sitting in the same nesting box together, on 8 eggs.

Two or three? Try NINE !!!!!!!!!!!

You keep your hands off my broodies!

Umm, isn't there a simile called "as mad as a wet hen"?
Now you have to wonder what she's going to do for revenge!
