has the hen gone broody on you?

my 2 black english orpington hens went broody for the 1st time & they are also about 2 years old

i have found that my buffs go broody much more often

I just got them a few weeks ago but from past experience, I've found buffs to be both better layers and broodies. I'm importing some large and bantam whites from a top breeder in England next week.

Thoughts on this Blue Orpington pullet? I hatched her from my parent stock. She is 22 weeks old. I feel she will be an excellent breeder for next spring!

But I would love to hear what you all think of her!
