How many broodes do you currently have?

[ginasmarans]

It's that time of year again. Thought it might be fun to list the broodies we have. I currently have:
1 marans hen with chicks
3 marans hens-on eggs
2 marans mix hens-on eggs
2 bantam hens-on eggs
and one black sex link hen-thinking real hard about going broody.
What do you have?

 

[azelgin]

11% of my hens are broody today.

I have 2 buff orp broodies. One has hatched out one chick but I took it away and put it in the brooder. I'm scared of what my other orps would do to a baby.

2

oh 2 black orps

just one and she is a bantam so aren't many under her. She is very tiny! ErinM

Right now I have 2, last week I had 5.

I have a cochin on some EE/Blue orp eggs and ???blue orp that had a pip last night.

Then I have a cuckoo Marans on golf balls, but I might pull some of my eggs out of the bator to give her to raise.

One little grey frizzle sitting on an easter egg and 4 clear incubator eggs. She is sitting fairly well, but I'm not confident enough to pull my day 19 eggs from the bator for her. I will give her the chicks when they hatch if all goes well.

I had 2 the first one was a game mix she is done now
bless her heart she set for 45 days the first set all eggs were bad, 2nd set she did the same I think she was a horrible broody she was up and down every day would poop on the eggs and she didnt turn the eggs like she should have I wont set her again.
I did my part she didnt do hers.
My best broody hen is #2 setting on a doz welsummer eggs.
She is a American Game hen the best one I got.
I have 4 more hens that will brood they just haven't yet.

I have one OEG pullet-hen that hatched 3 chicks about 2 weeks ago. She decided motherhood wasn't for her, and her chicks are now in the brooder.

I have another OEG hen with 6 golden lakenvelder chicks

Another OEG/silkie mixed hen with 10 mixed bantam chicks

A Dutch bantam pullet-hen that is hatching right now, 4 chicks at last count with 7 more eggs to go!

A golden sebright mixed pullet-hen with 8 eggs that should be hatching anytime now

An OEGB hen with 10 eggs that is about a week away

Another dutch bantam hen with 10 eggs

A silkie pullet-hen with 17 eggs

And last but not least

Another OEG hen who has (I think) 20 eggs, but don't quote me on that number, cause it could be more
