Those broody hens though! Back when I still had chickens it was always fun trying to get the eggs out from under a broody hen. The Rhode Island Reds would get broody, but they wouldn't stay broody so they wouldn't stay on the eggs for more than a week or so. Too hybridized, I think. Anyway, I'd have to get the eggs from under them because of that. I got pecked more than a few times, I started wearing leather gloves to gather eggs. :-)
