I only have Cochins so I have nothing to compare to. It seems to be such a strong instinct in them that my 3 mo. buff is mothering the 2 mo. old mottles I put with her.

I have 6 silkie hens that start and qiut , and my 2 cochen bamtom hens sit and hatch , but my 2 dutch legorn bantom girls take the prize for concistancy 1 of them is broody all the time and sometimes thay trade off .

Why not get a cross?

My sizzle, Dozer went broody 4 times in her first year of life. She was unbreakable.

I have way more chickens than I need, now.

I am not looking forward to spring
