Going into fall of 2017 one of my Beautiful Light Bramha hens went broody. I collected the eggs daily. I really didn't want any chicks going into fall and really didn't want to chance a batch of little Roos. Every day I picked her up and set her off the nest and collected the eggs. This went on for a month. She would go sit on the EMPTY nest. Well, our local farm store got in a late batch of chicks. I heard about it from my neighbor so I drove down to see what they had...please have some pullets. I am NOT buying straight run chicks you crazy hen! Well they had one batch of pullets California White....Ok whatever that is I'll take two. Sorry but the minimun is six. Humm OK give me 6.
That night we slipped out to the coup and put a towel over her eyes and slipped the little buggers under her and I prayed this would get this hen off the nest!
Some of the pics in that video are the next morning. They grew into some pretty little hens. And when they started laying they have never missed a day.....
until this summer 2018 when one of them WENT BROODY but that's a different video...lol
