How To Make A Chicken Go Broody!

Poor Mama Chicken. She is only protecting her babies! Sooooo sweet. Good mama.

Very informative and interesting, Alex.

THANKS FOR THE INFO!

Thanks for this info

What a great video! I have only had chickens for 3 years and this year I've got 4 more coming this May. I will have 6 hens and one rooster. I am just doing this as my hobby and its just me and hubby with kids all gone. I'm hoping that I will have some chicks since we got a rooster at some point. I will have 1 buff Orpington and 1 black astralope. I definitely will get some of those fake eggs when the time comes! I don't think I will ever get to 50 chickens but around here I won't have any problem giving chicks away lol!

Those are some good hens

Thank you! Are the eggs placed by you in the nests or do the chickens lay them there by themselves or other chickens? Thanks again!!!

Nice video

Interesting and we'll made video.

I have a question My hens get let out each day about 11.00am to roam the neigbourhood. We have 6 hens 3 of the have hatched eggs in the past. They originally were wild hens but now they live in our coup. We had one of the hens last year go broody under our house and hatch 11 babies and two others hatched eggs nearby. This year they start sitting but when I open the doors they all run our, even the 2 hens that usually go broody. I can't figure out what to do to keep them interested in staying on the eggs. I am sure 2 of them have started to go broody as they show all the signs, smelly poo, sitting on the eggs but they get upset if they other hens go walkabout without them. I am thinking I might have to make the enclosure bigger, taking in more of the yard just for the time they hens start going broody to stop they leaving for the day. Any suggestions would be great as we have to get the eggs in as we don't have a rooster so it is a bit difficult. Help????

at what age did your ausralorps go broody i have some who are barely a year old and started laying.

Which breed does your white hen(sitting on eggs) belongs to?

Do you think this will work with Rhode Island Red hens?

What happens if the mother hatches eggs and jumps down? Will the chicks follow her? And how might they get back up?
