snailsandchickens Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hi all a question I have wanted to ask for ages and now am in a position to do so, what chicken is good for their broody ability I have just sold my two khaki Campbell's as they needed more room and have gone to a wonderful place :0) now I want to fill their run with chickens and want to start from the beginning and get a broody girl to sit on some fertilised eggs any advice is welcome.
