Thanks! I was just curious I’ll see when she arrives I guessShe could go broody again if she has gone broody before.
Broodiness is a hormonal thing, and you can't make a hen go broody or even guarantee that one will.
Thanks! How many on average would they sit on perhaps?Silkies are generally a broody breed, and since she has been broody before it is very likely that she will be again. I have had silky hens raise as many as 5 broods of chicks in a year.
That’s a very broody henI have a broody silkie right now...and she's driving me crazy! She sits on everyones eggs......she will roll the egg under her and just collect them if she can. It is bothering my other hens at this point, and my Icelandic laid outside today even though there is room in the nest box for 3 chickens. I might have to just block off the whole nest for a few days.......
