Will Cochins go broody all year long?

[Namble]

I have a couple Cochin pullets. And I was wondering if they will go broody even in winter? I was told Cochins have a tendency to go broody often.

I have two little bantam cochins and I swear they are broody all the time!

Cool! I wish I had some bantams.

The answer to your question is a definite "YES" i had one go broody and it was 10 degrees and the ground was frozen solid.

Had a Bantam old english hen do the same raised 10 little ones in the freezing cold of January.

Nt really. I have a cochin hen and she has only gone broody once last year and during her broodiness she actually ate a few of her eggs!!!!

Its based on individual, like my black rosecomb hen goes broody at least 3 times a year and I thought they never go broody.

Luck be on you
