Yes. @ManueB was asking. I did the first few times with the Wyandotte bantams but you are right; it was all I did. I'd break one & the other would sit. Break her & her sister would sit. Then both together. Round & round we went. It's not like I was short of eggs or anything.I think it was on Shad's thread you were asked if you break your broodies and I thought "if she did, she'd never have time for anything else!" They're chronic!
Well, I'm with you on letting the hens do what comes naturally. So far I've had very few worries about them getting up regularly and taking care of themselves.Yes. @ManueB was asking.

Yes. Well I learnt better. Now I leave them be.I don't know where this ridiculous breaking broody business comes from.
I have a suspicion that it has more to do with egg supply than the health of the hens.

It certainly didn't feel right to me, but it's something I know nothing about. I'm happy you gave me some reassurance.I don't know where this ridiculous breaking broody business comes from.

I find that things concerning animals that uses terms like "break", "yield"...will need thinking about .
