Splash Andalusian going broody?

[FrenchHen]

According to the hatchery, they are non-setters. We have one in the hospital crate (due to an injury) who seems to be sitting on her egg. I have her three more today to see what would happen.

Does anyone have Andalusians who go broody, or have I pushed her into it because of the hospital crate.

Minorcas aren't supposed to go broody either but I have one that goes broody reliably! LOL!

I don't know about andalusians, but my mom also has a minorca who went broody. They're very similar birds...

Any (female) chicken can go broody, just in some breeds which have been bred not to go broody, broodiness if far less likely.

I have 4 Blue Andalusians. Two of them are broody. One of the two is ridiculously determined to be broody, right now...

So, yes, it can happen.

I went to check on her just now and she's kicked the eggs under the bedding and pecked one hunting for her food that she's spilled all over the floor of the crate.

The eggs got washed and fridged.
