Dappy Chick Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Kylie my little black Pekin has gone broody AGAIN! Her chicks are about 10-12 weeks old. Is she a complete sucker for punishment Her three chick can not understand why Mum sits in the house all day - they keep going in to her and jumping all over her - bless them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I broke the "Broody Spell" for young Blossom after she'd laid for about 10 days then decided broody was a good attitude to adopt ...........3 weeks later I'm still waiting for her to lay again *taps fingers impatiently on the roasting tray * Can you shut her out of the house or is that the only protected area the babies have in their run? Not sure that would work if she had to snuggle down with the babies at bedtime either, sorry never had a "double brooder", good luck Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
