Wanted : Hen prone to going broody in NW Arkansas/ SW Missouri

[1cock2hens]

Title says just about everything I need to say, would prefer a duel purpose or laying breed. Not interested in bantams. Will pay 10-15$ depending on breed. I'm in bella Vista Arkansas at the moment

Do you have a feed store near you that sells buff orphingtons or black australorp?

 

[Top Rooster]

There is a orscheln store near Bella vista on the border that may sell chicks if it's like like the feed stores in Oklahoma it should have chicks but I don't think you will get much luck getting adult chickens unless you go to local farms.

@Top Rooster I know the family that supplies the local place and they don't sell grown hens, The only other places I know about around here are chains and sell chicks and you have to get a minimum

I got two dark Cornish from Murray McMurray last year. One hatched out a clutch las year and one is currently setting. I know that doesn't help you get a broody NOW, but may be something to think about in the future.

yeah I know.. I don't want to raise chicks, I want a hen to do that. That's why I'm asking on here for a broody hen.

@bobbi-j thank you for your response but I'm not interested in ordering from an online hatchery..




I want to thank everyone for taking the time to respond but i am not particularly interested in other options, my post is for a hen prone to broodiness because that's what I want. I do not want any chicks, I do not want a chicken from a broody breed that isn't a proven broody. I want a proven broody.
