lost broody hen

[Malibufarmer]

well this is a great day today. 1 weeks ago i thought that one of my buff orpingtons got eaten. well today i was going through my sister old tree house and there goldie locks is growling at me with 8 eggs under. well i quickly picked here up and put her into my broody box, she was walking around the box for 10 minutes but then went right back to work. i don't no if she will sit on them till the end because she is only 1 year old.

I've had a nine month hen sit, hatch and raise her chicks just fine before! Congrats!
