Last season we had a little golden comet go broody. They are not supposed to do that I have learned but this one did. I got 10 fertilized eggs from the neighbor's farm and put them under her. She hatched out 9 of them. Unfortunately, six turned out to be roosters. :) They were very handsome but I didn't want six roosters so I gave them away on Craig's list. I hope nobody goes broody again. I'd rather just buy female day old chicks. That's me though. It was fun to watch her with the babies though. She was a very good mama.
