non-broody fowl keepers

[fluffycrow]

No im asking fluffy because I want to know your breeds and if they are known to go broody or not

Oh, when I've said it a bunch of times but I guess saying it once more doesn't hurt. Right now I have six mature landrace Tsouloufati hens, supposedly very broody. Then I have two bantam pullets, one silkie mix and a possible Greek bantam breed/mix. I also have two elderly ISA brown hens

And none want to go broody huh? Maybe I should send my Yokohama mix hen Yokie jr over there to show them how its done! She might just steal all your eggs and hatch them herself though

Wouldn't care, she could steal every single one and I'd thank her. But good luck managing to send her all this way

Lol ok. She is actually a great broody hen I can put my hand under her and she never pecks me. She is also a great mother. She went broody a few weeks ago but I didn't want her broody this time. I heard if you dip a broody hen in water it will make them not broody so that is what I did and it worked. I feel like it is much better for her to be scratching around outside rather than sitting on an empty nest in a dusty coop.

Yea if you look at her body feathering she is not quite black but has almost brown lacing on her feathers. It is quite interesting

Interesting comb on her, too. Like a Kirin.

After 11 years and no successful broody, after 11 years of living in the dark, after 11 years of being dramatic, this queen has decided to bless us with going broody
