What breed is your broody?

[Gypsy07]

My one and only broody hen EVER is a very poorly bred Marsh Daisy. She's a horrible example of the breed, but a very good mother...

Betty was broody on page ten and she's at it again eggs are due to hatch in 7 days...

Sussex/Langshan

Our broody Millie is a buff orpington. She gets broody every spring like clock work, and she's a great mother!

My latest broody, a rumpless Coronation Split Sussex - Now taking care of a few Araucana chicks she hatched out. The actual mother Araucana was also sharing some time to take care of them, but she took over.

big black cochin. she is almost always broody. Her tiny brown eggs are not enough motivation to try and break her from it so I let her be broody all the time.

We have an American Game/EE cross that has gone broody 5 times since January. She's sitting on 2 porcelain d'uccle eggs right now. They should hatch next Thursday or Friday.
