Yea! Sooner or later probably will get read of my experimental birds a replace them with these. These will sell better. Also go a breeding pair of New Zealand Whites.
 
Quote: Yes. No secret. She has a nest box out of reach of the other hens and when she has laid about a dozen eggs she'll go broody. I leave the eggs in the nest box undisturbed. This will be her third clutch since October. All my hens will do the same if their eggs are left or replaced with dummy eggs one at a time/one a day.. I have repeated this process over and over this summer, fall and winter with nine different hens. Each one went broody within a week of my prediction; most within two days.

The hen laid her sixth egg yesterday. She started clucking and walking around all fluffed up today. The pictures show the hen with her chicks five weeks ago in the nest box that contains her most recent eggs. The other picture is the four chicks all lined up on my leg.
