Is this something that could be a problem in my new flock as I will be ordering hatchery chicks 1 day old.

If you want hens to go broody, hatchery BRs are not the way to go (most of the time). Some do, most do not. None of my BR hens has ever gone broody, though a couple of them are the progeny of a hatchery BR hen who did brood often. Neither my hatchery BRs nor my other BRs have ever brooded chicks.

I agree. My birds are very broody.

My new roo:
Let me know what you think about him. His wings have been clipped prior to me obtaining him.

 

[QuailHollow]

He's pretty. Reminds me of 'Chicken Tractor Charlie'.

 

[Yard full o' rocks]

I'm DEFINITELY no expert, but he looks very, very nice to me!!

 

[cybercat]

He is nice. How old is he?

 

[Hollywood Chickens]

I have 9 BRs I'll try to get some pictures of them later

 

[Knight Hawk Ranch]

He is about 6-8 months old. I am not sure, will have to ask the lady I got him from.

I have a couple of ladies that I plan to put with him that I hatched from eggs from someone on here.

Anyone in the Knoxville Area of TN want a Black Rock Rooster who's in deep doodoo with me? He's been with his own private harem for awhile and has gotten big britches without another rooster to keep him behaving. Since I'd prefer blues anyway, his time here is limited although he's gorgeous. He's from Halo and quite a looker but he's headed for Freezer Camp at this rate. Rotten bugger.
