And from experience, if you take them from her or move them she'll just find another place to sit.. but wow 21 eggs them girls have been busy..

Tricia,

the Rocks are totally non-broody. I collected them, bought them indoors and cracked them all...... nothing at all had grown, so they got scrambled and given back. And I was worrying that I had a hen that was egg bound!

Our hens normally lay when we're out at work so I collect each evening when they go to roost. I never look behind the door, but will have to now! It is all one big learning curve and we are still learning!

I'm glad i have some girls that still like to be broody, my game/bantams and my bantams seem like the ones to go broody here, and out of my 6 Brahmas only 1 and shes our youngest just turned 1 this month. I guess alot of the hatchery chickens have had it bred out of them.
