Penny, I am very sorry to hear about your mom. Dementia is terrible. Both my grandmas went through it, centripetal force they were in their late 80s to early 90s when they got it thank God. It's terrible when people start getting in their 50s and 60s. At first I think it's harder on the individual with the memory issues but later it seems easier on them in some ways, and harder on other around them
Hang in there. Tell your chickens about it, like all animals they are supportive in their own way and they don't judge. That's why animals are great.

Thank you I spent about 2 hours this morning with the peeps then
dogs, cats and my best friends before we left

I don't know what I'll do when I have one go broody. Knock on wood but it hasn't happened so far. All my birds are from hatcheries. Is there a typical age that they do this?

Those girls range in age from just at a year to four years old. Three of them are wheaten ameraucana, and two are half ameraucana. Two are tried and true mothers that have been broody before and raised chicks. Some of the otheres were actully raised by them. Maybe that's the New Hampshire's issue. The mother who raised her is one of them.

Broodiness varies from breed to breed. Some it's breen pretty much bred out. On the other end there are silkies....

I only have three broody silkies now. Two have chicks. And chicks are hatching.

I need some broodies over here! After that bobcat wiped out most of my flock its slim pickings for broody hens. How's your Wheaten Ameraucanas doing? Thanks to you giving me Frankie that Blue wheaten cockerel I am seriously bitten by this Ameraucana bug. You don't have any hens, pullets, or chicks available by chance do you????

No chicks from them this year yet and now three are broody. Louie wasn't doing his job either.Im going to have to get rid of the brahmas and new Hampshires. There are a few others in the group who have them. I need to get a few more myself. And an unrelated rooster who will mate this breed.

How long does it takes for a chicken to get out of broody mode?
