Surgical Spirit works well if you can dip the legs in it. Fast evaporation rate, minimal residue.

I have this surgical spirits and ordered medicated feed

thanks for that tip LF. Does that work all year round for you?

Oh for crying out loud, Perris!! I'll just send you Tonk!!!
This little monster went broody at least 6 times last year. She's a nut.

Do you have any tricks up your sleeve to encourage broodiness Shad?

Yep, but if they work you'll curse me forever.

 

[Sally PB]

I won't. And DH doesn't even know you.

(Don't worry, you can laugh at me when it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere. )

I'm not sure it's dedication. There are some things in life you just shouldn't walk past as if it's not your problem.

There you go @Perris
Broody hens are like children; great when they're not yours.
