trappa 517 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salclalin 240 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got one sat on Sussex eggs has we speak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
