She's my daughter's though, so I don't have much say in it...

Have you tried curtains Fluffycrow - are your nests dark enough?

This is a thread for all of us unlucky people who have yet to have a broody, or a broody successfully hatch out babies so that we don't annoy all of you normies with our constant complaining on the matter. You can each keep a record of how long you've been waiting for a broody (if you've ever had one that is) it goes without saying, that broody you are so eager to have can be a chicken, a duck, a goose....you get the idea. This thread is of course a thread where you can complain about all your failed attempts of course. I've not had a broody in 11 years, so in other words I've never had a chicken go broody on me. @Canadian Wind , @BelovedBirds , @JacinLarkwell , @Isadora , @New duck mommy 2021 , @Tonyroo come join the fun (or rather lack thereof)! You all know my drama on this topic a little more than others, or have personally fallen victim to the broody drought

Add me to this thread. It’s been 3 years and dozens of chickens, no broody.

My nests are dark enough, but I have not tried curtains. I intentionally placed the nests in the darkest part of the coop

What breeds do you raise @SeabassSarmale ?

Whatever is prettiest lol. I don’t really like hybrids so I try to stay away. Brahmas, Australorp, Rir, Wyandottes, Marans, Sussex, Orps, Leghorns. Those and all the varieties that come from those breeds. I will admit that I’ve also got some black and red sex linked chickens, but I mostly like to get clean breeds, none of this mystic onyx, or starlight egger crap.

You should come to Greece, we don't even have those birds here . Then again it would be hard for you to locate a pure bird, but easier than finding a starlight egger

If only she was broody.....like him!
