Do older chickens still get broody ?

Recommended Posts

So Gemma is just past 7 and a half now and of course being a Pekin, is prone to being broody.

She hasn't laid any eggs yet this year, which doesn't matter to me, but she often goes in the nest box for half an hour and then comes back out.

As yet, she hasn't been broody but she was last year.

Do they only get broody if they are capable of laying eggs ?

bought one of these, filled it with Aubiose and it's a favourite place now for laying or just chilling out!

That’s a good idea because I currently have the Eglu shut during the day to keep Mrs Broody out and therefore do have to play hunt the eggs every day!

I used to have birds laying all over the garden when things got busy in the nest boxes, or a particularly vicious broody had taken up residence before her turn in the Cage of Shame.

I already have one of these 😊

Can't remember where it came from though.

Rokers near Guildford sells them too.
