As above. I got 3 light sussex and 3 marans a few months back. Since then ive had 2 of the light sussex turn broody on me and none of the marans have. Is this a common trait or am i just unlucky (or doing something wrong). At the moment my previously best girl is just sat there in a nest doing bugger all, i try to move her on but she just comes straight back.

I keep Light Sussex mate( Large Fowl and Bantams). I once had all my Bantams (7) Broody at the same time. My Large Light Sussex also go Broody several times a year. I once hatched a Bantam in April and she went Broody in November and hatched Chicks. Your not doing anything wrong or unlucky i think it's just in their nature. Get some eggs under them.

Yes they make good Broodies(Sussex/Silkies) But the best are Sussex/gamebird (Ginger Game preferably) i've got two and they are excellent. I've got one sat on Sussex eggs has we speak. :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
