JamesAyres Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Well, mine have gone broody numerous times and have been very stubborn and hard to make kick the habit. So I would say they would be good. Other than their size which will limit how many eggs they can manage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 As a 'light' breed they are far less prone to broodiness and less likely to stick with it but there are always some exceptions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
