What was the name if your first broody girl?

[rcentner]

My 1st broody that sucessfully sat until the end is "Blaze", but my 1st broody that was stressed off the nest by other hens was "Janis". They are both mutt chickens and a wierd large bantam size. Blaze stole eggs from all the hens in the coop, our sitting boxes now have dividers

, so she sat on 21 eggs! Another hen came along and sat right next to her to help keep the eggs warm. I had 2 hens on 1 clutch, but Flash was not nice to the chicks when they were born, so Blaze raised them until 7 or 8 wks. I got 4 chicks (I think the eggs stolen were of different ages), 2 hens and 2 roos. A variety!

Three years ago, I had my first broody girl. She was a blue bantam Cochin named Elektra Star. Fast forward three years, my second broody girl is Elektra's only daughter, Suri. Suri is a black bantam Cochin currently sitting on 22+ eggs. I've yet to get a good count.

A BO named Ruby. Now 3 weeks later her sister Bluebell is sitting on eggs too. Rose tried to join them as well, but I had to break her. It's broody central around here. I need SOMEONE supplying the eggs!
