Morwenna got off the nest. She was just taking a really long time laying an egg!

That's actually how mine behaved before they went broody. They'd sit a long time before they laid and after. Then spent the night on the nest. That's when I was sure... Now I have 6 pretty little mutt chicks. No work at all! Love my Broodies!

You could go with Dorothy and call her Dot for short.

 

[Betty1]

She's back on! Maybe she'll make up her mind soon!

 

[Betty1]

If she stays broody, can she hatch some chicks? or is she too young? also, is it too late in the year?

I have a Dorothy (Zbornchick). We're going with a Golden Girls theme. The problem is that there are only four Golden Girls and we have 8 birds (we'll have 12 next spring).
