These are by far my most broody chickens of all! They make wonderful pets and so easy to become attached to. I have one black silkie hen which became broody and would not leave her nest until those eggs hatched. She had 15 eggs in all and every one of them hatched. She is a wonderful mommy. She shows her chicks how to be well, chickens,. With scratching for food and drinking water. She is very protective of her babies. I highly suggest this breed if you are looking for a broody breed chicken or just want an awesome pet.
