Cinnamon Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Just back from hols to find our little bantam Sherbert is broody. We were planning on a couple of new additions & wondered if anyone knows if its a bad idea to introduce new hens to a flock where there is a broody? Sherbert is a madam - a real bully - maybe being broody will make her even more bad tempered, or maybe she will be so preoccupied with being broody she won't notice the new ones? What do you think?

Tom and Barbara Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I would go with the preoccupied theory. I've not heard of it being a bad idea at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
