White leghorn going broody?

[Timothy Menezes]

So I have had various birds go broody, usually barred rocks, and Americanas an such.

But to my surprise, I now have a white leghorn that's set on some eggs and determined to stay there. Anybody had a white leghorn that successfully hatched out some eggs?

It happens. I worked on an egg production farm as a kid, and we had a separate pen for the broody leghorn hens to break them.

Here’s a picture of my white leghorn hen that went broody and hatched a white silkie chick:

My Leghorns go broody on occasion.

They make great moms.
