well what can i say seems like another year of all my cochin going broody non stop .
i have 11 out of 17 of my cochins broody . im not puting eggs under anyo tham as i cant coupe with any more at the min . i wont have enought room to house all the chick so will have to wait until later in the year to hatch some when i have built about 15 more runs .
how many have you got broody . at this time of year . ?? it strange that its just all my cochins and no other breed . my cochins have to be a good 4 years old now . if not some a little older. .
i had sherman lol as i called him for 7 years ,,, must be a record lol. (cockrel)

Won't be long til the brahmas start and then heaven help me, as once that happens they'll all be going broody................ ;)
Not had as many as you though in January :blink: :blink:

My only broody is a rescue hen- I was told they don't go broody.

how lovely that she has gone broody - and just goes to show that given the chance they can all enjoy being normal happy chickens :D

Mine are always broody. Used to be 1 out of 3 but this week 2 of them are broody. It's the Silky in them. Bless ::)

yes my Claudette has just come out of being broody but her sister Danii is now broody instead - silkie genes ::)

Mind you, I can't blame them. I went broody a few times in my time, result? 4 children, 5 grandchildren with another 1 still cooking (due in March) and since then there seems to have been a few additons to my animal family every Spring :D :D
