Well, I think my "bad broody" from last year has gone broody again. This was before I banded them so I can't tell this Dominique from her 2 sisters. She isn't mean like she was last time (last year she tried taking chunks out of my hand). This year, all she did was growl. In fact, she sounds more broody than the buff I have sitting on eggs now. Last night I moved her into a broody box with an egg and she made no complaints. Today, she was up and at-em, but walking around fluffed up like a turkey, making broody "bock, bock, bock" noises and picking stuff off the ground and throwing it over her back. This is the behavior that makes me think it is the same bird. Not sitting on the fake eggs in the broody box. I let her out of the broody run because she was going into the other broody box and harassing the buff who is on real eggs. I am in the process of building a dual broody run that will house two mamas while sitting on eggs and for the first week, but I don't currently have a free 5x5 PVC run to put just her in. We'll just see if she settles to sitting like a good broody and I'll see about changing my mind and letting her hatch babies.
