Why the heck are all my hens going broody at once???

[sred98]

I expected my silkie and cochins to go broody. It was even cute when the two "twin sister" blue cochins went broody together, hatched together, and raised the babies together. NOW I have a hatchery BR and a hatchery Wyandotte that are broody! AND my hatchery RIR is acting broody! I wish I had some good eggs to stick under them! LOL!

I thought everyone was getting ready to molt, or something. I've never had broodies before, now I'm overrun! LOL!

Welcome to my world, Shelly...

Two Silkies, one Wyandotte one Maran and on Hamburg. Even the non-setters go broody in this place at the moment!

I only wish to have that problem! Are you going to get your girls some eggs to sit on?

I have five broodies! I bought some buff Brahma eggs and put some under each one, so hopefully we will have one big happy family in another week.
