The sad thing is in my layer flock I have high production birds. And m one RSL went broody at 1 yet old and is raising a blue AM for me right now.
That's strange for one of them to go broody. I only ever had two birds go broody and they were my bantam cochins. I never let them hatch any out because I already had this years chicks in the spring and I didn't need no more! They fluffed up their feathers and suacked at me man were they mad!
