I will probably come by around the 20 th of April give or take a day or 3 but I will let you know. What do you think hold eggs no more than 6 days?

Need non-hatchery silkies or cochins to have almost guaranteed broodies. Large fowl cochins are big fluffy birds that are what you want of you're hatching stuff other than chickens.

Cochins are very reliably broody and second only to silkies.

Silkies can be annoyingly broody. Mine usually go broody 3 times a year on average.

I now have 4 silkies that have gone broody since Friday. Going to set silkie mix eggs

that's too funny... my girls literally you can stick your hand under them and just get their eggs. My Isa Browns are our first breed of chicken we bought. They come when they are called, come running to you to greet you and want pets, back scratches and to be held. They are funny. Will be interesting to see what these other breeds will be like when they get bigger!
