Is a Blue Warren Likely to become Broody?

[PlymouthRocky504]

So one of my later hens bought is a Blue Warren who I think might be a hybrid, and just wanted to know because of this if she is likely to become broody this spring as hoping to hatch some chicks?

Most hens become broody at some point or another, you can hatch eggs under any broody.

Yep but was wondering since I’ve had hybrid warrens for a few years and they’ve never gone broody so was wondering?

I've never even heard of Bluebell warrens, so I couldn't say what mix they are, some breeds go broody a lot and some barely do.

I cannot find a bluebell warren chicken online. Where did you get her? Do you have some kind of link so I can read up on bluebell warren chickens.

That should give you a clue as to how likely she is to go broody if a bluebell warren and a hybrid warren is the same thing.

Can you contact whoever created them and chat with them? They should have an idea of broodiness.

Having searched up it appears she is a Blue Warren breed. Unfortunately I’ve lost the contact from the place I bought her from a s it was a while ago.

She’s a Blue Warren having researched.

Yes, she's a production breed, they rarely go broody
