i was given a hen and her 15 chicks off my dads friends mother in law, she wanted rid of her because they only have a big garden and the hen had managed to get a secret nest and sit on eggs, then she showed up with 15 chicks!, anyone know the breed? she does have a nice big field to roam around but she is in quarantine at the moment. i hope she sits again next uear for me, do you think she will?

 
Not sure what breed but she does look like a cross, there is every chance she will become broody again for you next year and sit, yes

what a good mama she is!
 
i don't know how she managed 15 eggs, she rather had more or had a 100% hatch rate!
 
She looks a lot like the Mama I was giving with her 15 chicks! The chicks even look very similar. I still haven't figured out what they are, but the babies are 24 weeks now and I would say they are an OEGB mix. Very cute!
 
looks like a wyandotte mix. you could take the chicks away and she will probably go broody in a month or 2 or just wait for the chicks to get grown and she will go broody again. there really is no way of knowing if or when a hen will go broody

can you get a full body shot without the fencing, also while she is standing if possible in good lighting please want to try and see her futures better
