MsPoultry, I looked at both again…funny that they are both in a grey environment.  My Dottie is close up on a ramp.

She's cute


To Dan yes I've heard that!

To mymilliefleur that sucks yeah my hens aren't real smart and won't even brood

Yea, brooding is bred out of most birds now a days. the ones that do go broody are pretty lousy. I let my games and D'uccles do most of the brooding for those reasons.

In mcmurray hatchery catalog it says BO are good broodies but I haven't seen that

I could send you a couple who go broody too often..

 

[MsPoultry]

Thanks that is very tempting but I shouldn't because I won't make them stop going broody

I've heard silkies are good broodys

 

[MsPoultry]

Yeah and it want some I have two Roos that are a part silkie and a hen but she hasn't gone broody she's mostly polish though

 

[dan26552]

Oh and Muscovies are wonderful Broodys

 

[MsPoultry]

Brody's

Yeah mine are drakes though

 

[mymilliefleur]

Yes, silkies are excellent mothers. so good in fact that breeders use them to incubate rare breed eggs since they do a better job then the incubators, even the expensive ones. I love to get some, some day.
