Never having had a broody before, I'm not touching mine at all... just letting her do her job. I am so afraid that I will do something to cause her to quit the nesting....

She still has 2 weeks to go!

Just feel under her LOL..Thats what I did with my first broody then I lifted her up for a second and 4 little fluff balls fell out

Okay, so no one is going to believe this, but 3 of my 4 EEs have gone broody!!!

I will have to get pictures of the other two girls!

My bantam cochins go broody over golf balls. I had a bunch of new layers laying everywhere but in the nest boxes, so I added golf balls into all the nest boxes and darned if my bantams both went broodie, So I removed the golf balls to a bucket and they found them. Wouldn't budge - sounded like godzilla anytime I went near - I finally got some gloves and removed the one broody and took the golf balls. They are both wanting to be mommies I seems. I think it is too soon for babies right now but in March I will see If I can get them broodie again and give them something to sit on that will hatch more than little tigerwoods golf balls.
