You can get them on your Nook as well, as long as they have been "Internet archived". Google does a lot of archiving, as well as some college libraries. Just do a search for the subject matter and you should be able to find some. I download a lot of old recipe books on my Nook from the 1890's - 1910.
I think all of the birds I have are right at a year old. Most of them are hatchery, but a few are not. The two that went broody and hatched out chicks this year were a BCM (non hatchery) and a dark brahma (hatchery). The BCM has already started laying again. I guess I don't have anything to lose by trying. If I'm successful, the worst that'll happen is that I'll have to get more eggs from someone.it depends on the breed (and the bloodlines) The past few years I have had hatchery cochins and silkies.. "known for broodiness" mine have gone broody exactly 0 times (hatchery blood for ya..) but about 5 years ago I had some that were broody more often than not (heritage cochins) some birds CAN be bribed into setting a nest if you leave dummy eggs for them.. others like my current bunch are pretty much useless no matter what you do! good luck on getting your girls in the mood to set for ya!
was puffing up in the wind this evening,
