You have found a wonderful group of folks who either live in Oklahoma or wish they lived in Oklahoma. Some of us have addictions to acquiring poultry, attending poultry auctions and hatching eggs, Since addicts tend to be enablers, we may try to assist you in acquiring the same addictions we have

So, do have any desire to own more than 8 hens?

My Malay hens and black sex-link hens are the broodiest hens I have ever owned.

Game breeds are good broodies as are NNs but it depends on the ind. hen too. Silkies are great broodies. If you hatch eggs pick chicks from the best broodies to hatch and then cross the offspring and in a generation or two you will get hens that will sit on round rocks if there are no eggs around.

I have had a silkie hen or two but never had great luck with any of them, that and I free range mine and they alwas get lost or get picked off. I may have to look into a game hen or two.
