NO More Broodys!!

[newchickmom]

Finally! Last night there was not a single hen I had to push off the nest.

I have had 5 to 6 broodys for over a month now and egg production has been around 8 for 20 (black australorps) hens. People keep asking for eggs, and I haven't had enough for everyone!
Now my new girls (10 buff orphingtons) are starting to lay also. Problem there is their eggs are only about 1 1/2 inches long. Not near big enough to sell yet but very cute and we can eat them.
Has anyone else been having this same problem?

Actaully - I have the other end of the spectrum. I am waiting for one of my girls to go broody so I can have some babies. Mine are all still very young and have only been laying for a month so I am just too impatient.

Good luck though!
