Need help! Are Cochins broody?

[cochins1088]

They go broody all the time. Out of my flock of 26, 21 of them went broody last spring; all at the same time. And many of them will go broody multiples times every year. Like others have said, it depends on the individual hen but cochins are known for being excellent broodies. Here's a couple pictures of my cochin broodys.

They are all 6 months and growing bigger!!!! They seem settled in. I can pick them up they listen when I call for treats and they are happy!

They might go broody this spring/summer, but they probably won't begin until they lay their first eggs when they are around 1 year old. Cochins take a while to mature. Good Luck!
