Fortunately I am immune to Messr. Sourland's powers and am not afflicted with broodies.
Well, except for the Dragon Queen.  She's a Midget White turkey and is a most determined wanna-be-mom when the mood strikes her.  I think she absorbs all the avian broodiness in the neighborhood.  The K. Major and the wife refuse to cross her without a long stick to lever her out of the nest box when they gather the eggs.  The K. Minor refuses to go anywhere near her.  She gets a mite testy when someone disturbs her on the nest!
Having nothing but females in my household I take it all in stride.  What's one more cross, crabby female?
