Here are my 'tandom broodies', Popcorn, my tried and true best girl is in the front there, she's brooding with a hatch mate, they also both have 'Silkie' genes...I think it helps if they are the same breed to tandom hatch. My thoughts on broodiness is that it's a bit like the plague. Once one of them starts brooding, they ALL get in the game. One of the reasons I move my broody Mommas out of the main coop, so I don't lose out too much on egg production.

I love the broodies! And really envious of the hut! Awesome broody zone for you!

Both are beautiful... but I am really, really loving the look of Popcorn.... I am a sucker for the laced neck feather look!

Awwww! Yes, popcorn is my bestest girl. That was the first broody brooder we ever built. We have 3 more now, which I am supposed to be maintaining through the winter so they are ready now...We have made several changes since that first one. The run on that one is 2 x4 and the box is 2 x 2. We now make the box 1 1/2 by 3 and the run is 5 1/2 by 3, more run space, less coop space. The roof now opens to 2 sections (one for coop, one for run, this makes it much easier for feeding and watering without birds escaping and the run has a door for letting them range. I move the whole thing into the main coop's run for a few days before joining the babies with the birds in the main coop, sees to work well.

This is also a quick fix for a quarantine pen. I've been re~painting and caulking the past few days to get them in working order for the Spring.
sweeetness!!! I have one and she wont stop not sure what to do with her
Do you really need to ask? GIVE her eggs!
